Rob McElhenney Recalls “Humiliating And Terrible” Experience Of Getting Cut From Feature Debut In ‘The Devil’s Own’


Rob McElhenney may have been cut out of 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' but a previous acting experience of his blotted out from another film stung more.

Rob McElhenneyLeon Bennett / Getty Images Appearing on Sean Evans’ Hot Ones interview program, the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star and co-creator addressed a particular core memory from the industry that isn’t as bright and cheery: his vanishing from the 1997 Columbia Pictures’ The Devil’s Own, centering on an Irish American policeman ( Harrison Ford) and IRA extremist ( Brad Pitt). McElhenney would then go on to make his feature debut the following year, in 1998’s Oscar-nominated John Travolta vehicle A Civil Action, from director Steve Zaillian. McElhenney is also the showrunner and star of Apple TV+’s video game workplace comedy Mythic Quest, currently airing its fourth season.
