Stanley Tucci says he 'couldn't get a job' after The Devil Wears Prada: 'I didn't quite understand that'

Stanley Tucci reveals he had trouble finding work after playing fan fave Nigel in 'The Devil Wears Prada': 'And I didn’t quite understand that, but that’s just the way it was.'

The actor, 63, looked back on the ups and downs of his career in recent conversation with Vanity Fair, sharing that he "couldn't get a job" after his turn as the sardonic Nigel in The Devil Wears Prada. Having been sick six years ago, that threw a wrench into the works for a while, and then you slowly get back." As Entertainment Weekly previously reported over the summer, a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada — about employees at a fashion magazine headed by the daunting Miranda Priestly ( Meryl Streep) — is currently in the works with original director David Frankel and stars Tucci, Blunt, Anne Hathaway, and Streep in talks to return.
