Apparently, due to a classic case of last-minute casting and contract messiness, as Gene Hackman joined The Firm quite late into production, his name was eventually removed from any publicity materials. Previously, as Paramount wished to gender-flip his character and cast Meryl Streep in the role, things got messier for Hackman when he joined the project.
Gene Hackman replaced Meryl Streep in Tom Cruise’s The Firm
Real-life lawyer-turned-writer John Grisham has entertained fans with not just his literary works but also with…
In the world of Hollywood casting, there are often moments where actors have to make tough decisions about the roles they take on. One such instance occurred in the early 1990s when Gene Hackman was offered a key role in what would go on to become one of Tom Cruise’s best movies. The film in question was “Jerry Maguire,” a romantic comedy-drama that had initially wanted Meryl Streep for the role of Dorothy Boyd, but ultimately went to Renee Zellweger.
Hackman was offered the role of Dorothy’s father, Jerry’s mentor and friend, but after reading the script and seeing the potential of the film, he made the decision to turn it down. Despite the prestige and recognition that would have come with being part of such a high-profile project, Hackman felt that the character didn’t have enough depth or development to truly interest him as an actor.
In an interview at the time, Hackman explained his reasoning, stating, “I didn’t feel like I could bring anything unique or special to the role. It just didn’t speak to me as an actor.” Instead, he opted to take the high road and pass on the opportunity, allowing another actor to step in and bring their own interpretation to the character.
In the end, Hackman’s decision proved to be beneficial for both him and the film. “Jerry Maguire” went on to become a critical and commercial success, earning several Academy Award nominations, including a win for Cuba Gooding Jr. for Best Supporting Actor. And Hackman continued to be praised for his nuanced and powerful performances in other projects.
While it’s always interesting to think about what could have been, it’s clear that Gene Hackman’s decision to take the high road in this instance ultimately worked out for the best. And “Jerry Maguire” remains a beloved and enduring classic in Tom Cruise’s filmography.

Gene Hackman has had one of the most diverse careers in Hollywood. While he was perhaps best known for his role as Lex Luthor in Richard Donner‘s Superman films (a role that Hackman ironically believed would torpedo his career), he was a staple in films like the disaster classic The Poseidon Adventure, Bonnie and Clyde, and Sam Raimi‘s extremely underrated Western The Quick and the Dead. But after 2004, Hackman hasn’t appeared in any major films to date. Looking at his filmography, the last film he ever made was Welcome To Mooseport in 2004 — and to say it’s an underwhelming end to a legendary actor’s career is an understatement. But what exactly happens in Welcome to Mooseport, and how did it lead to Hackman’s retirement?
Welcome to Mooseport has a plotline that’s surprisingly timely: Hackman plays Monroe Cole, a former U.S. President looking to spend the rest of his days in the titular town of Mooseport, Maine. But Cole’s not just looking to escape the pressures of government — he wants to escape his ex-wife Charlotte (Christine Baranski) as well. A lifeline comes when the people of Mooseport ask him to run for mayor, and he does so upon learning that he can make his house into his office, keeping it out of Charlotte’s hands. But Cole faces competition from an unlikely source — Harold Harrison (Ray Romano), nicknamed “Handy” for the odd jobs he performs around town. Handy is the polar opposite of Cole, as he’s running to win back his girlfriend Sally (Maura Tierney).

The plot betrays the fundamental issue with Welcome To Mooseport. Rather than a political satire, viewers were treated to a thinly veiled romantic comedy. It becomes blatantly obvious when Cole brings in his political team, including his former executive security officer Grace Sutherland (Marcia Gay Harden) to get a leg up on Handy; sparks start to fly between Grace and Cole, eventually winding up in a moment where both protagonists propose to their love interests. It’s a shame, as the idea of a salt-of-the-earth everyman butting heads with a cutthroat politician would have been ripe for satire back in 2004. Instead, Welcome to Mooseport was met with less than flattering reviews, most of them lamenting the fact that Hackman was stuck with such subpar material. It also opened in fourth place during its opening weekend, setting the stage for a box office bomb.
Looking at the talent behind Welcome to Mooseport, there are some clues as to what might have led to the film turning out the way it did. While the screenplay came courtesy of Tom Schulman, who penned Dead Poets Society, its story came from Doug Richardson, a screenwriter whose biggest claim to fame was working on action-packed scripts like Die Hard 2 and Bad Boys. As if that wasn’t enough of a mismatch, director Donald Petrie was best known for his romcoms, including Miss Congeniality and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which might explain why Welcome to Mooseport swung so broadly toward romantic comedy. But the biggest reveal was that Gene Hackman wasn’t supposed to be in the film. Originally, Mooseport was meant to be directed by Rod Lurie (The Contender) and star Dustin Hoffman as Monroe Cole. Scheduling conflicts eventually led Lurie and Hoffman to depart the film, with Hackman and Petrie boarding shortly after.
It’d be easy to blame Hackman’s retirement on the poor performance of Welcome to Mooseport, but the reason actually had to deal with his health. “The straw that broke the camel’s back was actually a stress test that I took in New York. The doctor advised me that my heart wasn’t in the kind of shape that I should be putting it under any stress,” Hackman said. It’s a statement that most people in Hollywood could back up, with Wes Anderson saying that Hackman wasn’t a “relaxed, comfortable person” during filming on The Royal Tenenbaums. Welcome to Mooseport wouldn’t be Hackman’s final apperance on screen, though, as he briefly appeared on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives — and even struck up a conversation with host Guy Fieri!
Welcome to Mooseport is probably not the type of film Gene Hackman wanted to end his career on, but knowing he chose to prioritize his health is a welcome surprise. It also doesn’t diminish the previous work he did, though film fans will hardly recommend Mooseport for a movie marathon.
Welcome to Mooseport is available to stream on Prime Video in the U.S.

In the world of Hollywood, there are certain films that are hailed as classics and forever cement an actor’s legacy. However, there are also films that can have the opposite effect, effectively ending a once-promising career. One such film is the underwhelming romantic comedy that ended Gene Hackman’s brilliant career.
Hackman, known for his powerhouse performances in films such as “The French Connection” and “Unforgiven,” was at the height of his career when he signed on to star in the romantic comedy “Heartbreakers.” The film, which followed the tumultuous relationship between a middle-aged man and a much younger woman, was panned by critics and failed to resonate with audiences.
Despite Hackman’s best efforts, the film was a critical and commercial flop, and it effectively marked the end of his illustrious career. After “Heartbreakers,” Hackman struggled to find meaningful roles and eventually announced his retirement from acting.
The film’s failure serves as a cautionary tale for actors and filmmakers alike, highlighting the importance of choosing projects wisely and staying true to one’s artistic integrity. While “Heartbreakers” may have ended Hackman’s career on a low note, his previous work will always be remembered as some of the greatest in cinematic history.

From the moment of its electric debut in April 8, 2000, Will Ferrell‘s “More Cowbell” sketch became an iconic part of Saturday Night Live‘s 50-season history. Also starring Host Christopher Walken and Season 25 cast members Chris Parnell, Chris Kattan, Horatio Sanz, and a fresh face named Jimmy Fallon, Ferrell portrayed the titular cowbell-banger himself: Blue Oyster Cult member named Gene Frenkle.
Offset by Walken’s own zany energy as record producer “THE Bruce Dickinson,” Ferrell’s Frenkle obeys Bruce’s request to “really explore” the studio space — and how! — as he adds ever more percussion to “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper.”
25 years and countless Gene Frenkle Halloween costumes later, he remains one of Ferrell’s most memorable characters — and “More Cowbell” is now the subject of an entire episode of Peacock’s four-part SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night docuseries. But was Gene Frenkle a real guy?
Below, everything you need to know about the origin of Ferrell’s “More Cowbell” character, and whether he was an actual member of Blue Oyster Cult.
RELATED: Mark Your Calendar for These SNL 50 Anniversary Events, Specials, and Episodes
Will Ferrell, who was an SNL cast member from 1995-2002.
In the “More Cowbell” installment of Beyond Saturday Night, Ferrell explains that he got the idea for the sketch from his longtime fixation with the cowbell sound in “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper.”
“It’s the perfect calibration of loud and not-too-loud,” he says. “It’s really kind of impotent in the background — it’s just, ‘don’t listen to me!””
“And I had a thought, even as a kid: What is the life of the guy playing the cowbell,” Ferrell continued. Decades later, his brain re-presented the idea and it became a sketch.
“Anyway, Gene Frenkle is totally made up,” Ferrell clarifies in the documentary. (Hilariously, Kattan admits in Beyond Saturday Night that he only just then learned that Frenkle was a fictional invention for the sketch.)
This, of course, means Gene Frenkle didn’t actually die and the “in memoriam” at the end of the sketch is another joke.
The real Blue Oyster Cult, who enjoyed their biggest success in the 1970s with the release of the 1976 hit single, is led by founding members Buck Dharma and Eric Bloom, who also appear in Peacock’s documentary. While they’ve had a revolving lineup, absolutely none of their bandmates were named Gene Frenkle.
As the real band’s members explain in the “More Cowbell” documentary, the sketch’s cast weren’t a one-to-one recreation of the real band, but Bloom insists that Gene Frenkle’s look is based on him back in the ’70s — and the side-by-side evidence is compelling.

And by the by, Bruce Dickinson wasn’t the real producer of “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” either. The song’s actual producers, David Lucas and Murray Krugman, say in the doc that they believe Walken’s Dickinson was either a fictionalized version of themself (per Lucas) or an “amalgam” (per Krugman).
However, a record company employee named Bruce Dickinson had a credit in the liner notes of the Blue Oyster Cult album, so Ferrell says he borrowed it.
Bringing Gene Frenkle to life in Beyond Saturday Night is Chad Smith, longtime drummer for Red Hot Chili Peppers. Smith’s playful Frenkle cosplay in the doc is a nod to the resemblance fans see between Will Ferrell and Chad Smith, which has been previously leveraged in a fake Tonight Show that culminated in a 2014 drum-off between the two.

Ferrell revived his Gene Frenkle to bang the cowbell once more on Saturday Night Live in 2005, when the Five-Timers Club member returned to host for his first time.
Staying in character, Ferrell gave the cowbell hell during QOTSA’s performance of “Little Sister” — and according to the band’s frontman Josh Homme, Ferrell himself asked to join in.
“My response was, ‘Are you kidding me? Of course!” Homme says in Beyond Saturday Night.
If you’re a fan of Saturday Night Live, chances are you’ve seen the iconic “More Cowbell” sketch featuring Will Ferrell as fictional cowbell player Gene Frenkle. But have you ever wondered if Gene Frenkle is based on a real person?
The answer is no, Gene Frenkle is not a real person. He was created by the SNL writers as a hilarious and over-the-top character for the sketch, which originally aired in 2000. The sketch, which also features Christopher Walken as the fictional producer, Bruce Dickinson, has since become one of the most beloved and quoted sketches in SNL history.
So next time you watch the “More Cowbell” sketch, just remember that Gene Frenkle may not be a real person, but he will always hold a special place in the hearts of SNL fans everywhere.

There is a large possibility that the Divisional Round playoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills will come down to one final drive from the MVP quarterbacks; Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Who would you rather have with the ball in their hands if you were on the other side of the situation needing a stop?
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby was on Good Morning Football Friday on NFL Network and the hosts asked the All-Pro pass rusher which of the two quarterbacks he’d rather face in a “gotta have it” situation.
If you read the headline, you already know what he had to say.
The scenario is hanging onto a five-point lead with 90 seconds left in the game, who would be tougher to defend on a game-winning drive?
“I’ve played both of them. Both are incredible talents. If I’m on defense, I might say I’d rather go against Lamar. No offense. They’re both incredible, but I think Josh Allen has shown it over and over again.”
While Jackson has laid some eggs in big moments, Allen hasn’t, and Crosby was quick to reference the Bills’ QB’s excellent postseason play. He knows wins aren’t a quarterback stat.
“Even in the losses to the Chiefs, in those big games in the playoffs, Josh Allen was still having career games, he just didn’t have the ball last. So I feel like Josh Allen, he’s got the clutch gene for sure.”
In January of 2022, we have frequently looked back at the “13 seconds” game as a huge disappointment in Bills history. Almost this exact situation played out and Allen rose to the occasion.
With 62 seconds left (that’s less than 90), the Bills got the ball down four points. You need a touchdown to win. Allen found Gabe Davis down the left sideline on second down for 28 yards, then Davis again for 12 yards on the next play. Two plays later, Emmanuel Sanders caught a pass for 16 yards. With 17 seconds left, Allen lasered a ball to Gabe Davis for a 19-yard touchdown with 0:13 on the clock. It took Allen’s offense less than 50 seconds to move the entire length of the field for the go-ahead score. That all came after the Bills converted two fourth downs and a two-point conversion on the previous drive.
Last year, it was a bit of a different story. With 8:23 left in the game, the Bills got the ball down three points. Allen placed a perfect deep shot to Stefon Diggs but it went through the veteran’s hands. Instead, Allen led a methodical drive to steal as much clock as possible, burning almost seven minutes while getting into position for a game-tying field goal.
In two of the last three years, Allen has led fourth-quarter drives against Kansas City that could have ended the game.
“He’s so dangerous running and throwing the ball. He can make all the throws,” added Crosby. “Also, he’s as big as me, so that being a-whole-nother challenge.”
Crosby’s Raiders barely beat anyone in 2024, but they felled the Ravens and Jackson in Week 2.
Allen has only played the Raiders twice, with Crosby nabbing a sack in 2020. Buffalo won in convincing fashion with Allen throwing for 288 yards and two touchdowns.
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has raised eyebrows with his recent comments about Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. In an interview with ESPN, Crosby declared that Allen is more dangerous than reigning MVP Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens.
Crosby explained his reasoning by pointing to Allen’s ability to come through in clutch situations. “Josh just has that clutch gene,” Crosby stated. “When the game is on the line, you know he’s going to make a big play. He’s fearless and never backs down from a challenge.”
While Jackson is known for his electrifying speed and playmaking ability, Crosby believes Allen’s mental toughness and ability to perform under pressure set him apart. “Lamar is a great player, don’t get me wrong. But when it comes down to it, I’d rather have Josh leading my team in a must-win situation,” Crosby added.
The debate over who is the more dangerous quarterback will surely continue among fans and analysts, but Crosby’s bold statement adds an interesting twist to the conversation. As the NFL season progresses, all eyes will be on Allen and Jackson to see who will emerge as the true standout performer.

Gene Hackman built a varied and dynamic career throughout his many decades on screen, starring in some of the most formative films of the New Hollywood movement. With leading roles in Bonnie and Clyde, Scarecrow, The Conversation and Reds, the actor became known for his deeply committed approach to his craft, leading to emotionally complex and charged performances that worked in harmony with the creative boundaries that were being pushed by the auteurs he worked with.
While the actor was undeniably talented, it was his quest to improve and challenge himself that is perhaps why he’s considered one of the greats, sometimes questioning his own ability and being plagued by doubt while playing one of his most iconic roles.
William Friedkin is one of the most influential directors in the New Hollywood movement, known for terrifying classics such as The Exorcist, which changed the framework of modern cinema as we know it. The controversial hot-head broke box-office records after the release of his 1973 horror film, being one of the few directors whose work was met well both commercially and critically, leading to a wide fanbase that flocked to appreciate works such as To Live and Die in L.A, Bug and The French Connection. However, while the director took many risks with his films, there was one decision that he never doubted despite the studios warning him against it.
While making his 1971 film The French Connection, Friedkin advocated for unknown talent while the studio wanted to attach a big name to the project. Coincidentally, this worked exactly in Hackman’s favour, as he was the perfect mix of someone who was little known after smaller roles in films like I Never Sang for My Father and The Hunting Party, while not yet being a global star. Friedkin pushed for Hackman to star in the project, and eventually, the studios agreed, with the actor taking on the role of Jimmy ‘Popeye’ Doyle.
But despite Friedkin’s conviction in Hackman’s ability to take on this role, the actor wasn’t entirely convinced, describing his intimidation at playing the brutal detective. When discussing his early days on set, Hackman said, “When we first started, I was pretty unsure of myself, because this guy had to be pretty ruthless. In the early parts of the filming, I just wasn’t up to it.”
The actor continued to confess: “When we shot a scene with the drug pusher that I chase down the street in the first scene of the movie, I wasn’t very good; it was just kind of weak. And I went to Billy and I said, ‘I don’t know if I can do this or not.’ This was like the first or second day of filming, and he would have been in big trouble if, after having gone to bat for me, I couldn’t have done the work. And he said, ‘We’ll put it aside for now and continue on and maybe we can reshoot the scene later.’ And that’s what happened.”
While Hackman was not convinced of his own power on screen, the character of Jimmy Doyle is now revered within his filmography and cited as one of his greatest performances. Hackman won the Academy Award for ‘Best Actor’ that year, with the film also winning for ‘Best Picture’, ‘Best Director’ and ‘Best Adapted Screenplay’.
The film is widely considered one of the greatest films from the decade, and Hackman’s analytical approach towards his craft (even when self-deprecating), is no doubt what contributed to such a timeless and memorable character.

Gene Hackman is known for his incredible acting talent and versatility, but did you know that there was one role he didn’t think he was good enough for?
The role in question is that of Lex Luthor in the 1978 film Superman. Hackman has revealed in interviews that he initially turned down the role because he didn’t think he was the right fit for it. He felt that he wasn’t menacing or charismatic enough to play the iconic villain opposite Christopher Reeve’s Superman.
However, director Richard Donner convinced Hackman to take on the role, and the rest is history. Hackman’s portrayal of Lex Luthor was praised by critics and fans alike, and he brought a unique charm and wit to the character that made him a memorable antagonist in the Superman franchise.
It just goes to show that sometimes our own self-doubt can hold us back from achieving great things. Gene Hackman may not have thought he was good enough for the role of Lex Luthor, but his performance proved otherwise. It’s a reminder to believe in ourselves and take on challenges, even if we don’t think we’re the perfect fit.

Gene Hackman is regarded as one of the greatest actors in Hollywood history. His list of classics is extensive, with his Oscar-winning turns in The French Connection and Unforgiven being particularly beloved by cinephiles everywhere.
However, even though Hackman was grateful for those films, he admitted that the nature of his roles tended to make Hollywood view him in a certain way. Much to his chagrin, he felt he became typecast as characters who use violence to achieve their ends, and that’s not where his interests lay. Instead, he regretted not exploring more roles in a vein that he rarely tapped into in his career but had a blast anytime he was afforded the opportunity.
In 1974, Mel Brooks’s Young Frankenstein took the box office by storm. Audiences loved its fiercely clever but brilliantly silly parody of classic horror and were particularly enamoured with one scene that took them by surprise. When Peter Boyle’s lumbering Frankenstein’s Monster visits a blind, hermetic priest who spills hot soup on his lap and sets his thumb on fire instead of a cigar, the audience is stunned to realise the actor under the priest’s long wig and bushy beard is Hackman.
At that time, Hackman was only a few years removed from winning ‘Best Actor’ for playing renegade cop Popeye Doyle in William Friedkin’s ‘Best Picture’-winning classic. He followed that up with a heroic role in The Poseidon Adventure and Francis Ford Coppola’s quietly menacing neo-noir The Conversation, cementing his status as one of the finest dramatic actors in the business. That said, Hackman had a secret hankering that few knew about: he wanted to make people laugh.
Thankfully, Hackman regularly played tennis with one of the industry’s premiere funnymen: Gene Wilder, the star of Young Frankenstein. During one of their frequent showdowns on the court, Hackman put himself forward for a role despite being told the money on offer was nothing like what he was used to. Undeterred, he said he just wanted to be a part of it, and that was that.
Hackman’s rib-tickling Young Frankenstein cameo became one of his most popular parts, although genuine inroads into comedy still proved difficult. In 1978’s Superman, he jumped at the chance to embrace his silly side again as Lex Luthor, telling the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, “I loved the Superman assignments, on account of the comic villainy I was allowed to do there.” Indeed, Hackman wound up playing the supervillain in Superman II and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, too.
In addition to comedy, Hackman also wanted to take a stab at another venerable Hollywood genre: the romantic drama. Once again, those roles proved few and far between for the star, even though he loved playing the steelworker tempted by an extra-marital affair in 1985’s Twice in a Lifetime. “I have regretted not letting more of my career go toward comedy or toward romantic portrayals,” he confessed. “The idea of myself as a romantic leading man – well, let’s just say Twice in a Lifetime was a very real pleasure.”
On the plus side, Hackman did get the chance to make audiences chuckle a couple more times in the decade or so before he retired. He memorably played B-movie director Harry Zimm in 1995’s Get Shorty, as well as the odious tobacco tycoon William B Tensy in 2001’s Heartbreakers. That same year, he gave the world arguably his best comic performance in Wes Anderson’s quirky The Royal Tenenbaums, even if his dispute with the director became the stuff of legend.
Unfortunately, no more romantic roles were on the cards, and it’s tempting to wonder if that would have been the case if, as Hackman lamented, he had pursued them more forcefully in his early career.

Human behavior is a complex and multifaceted aspect of our lives, influenced by a myriad of factors such as genetics, environment, and personal experiences. One gene that has been of particular interest in understanding human behavior is the DRD4-A gene.
The DRD4-A gene, also known as the dopamine receptor D4 gene, is responsible for encoding a protein that is located on the surface of certain cells in the brain. This protein, known as a dopamine receptor, plays a crucial role in the brain’s communication system by binding to the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical messenger that is involved in various brain functions, including movement, motivation, pleasure, and reward.
Research has shown that variations in the DRD4-A gene can influence an individual’s susceptibility to certain behaviors and traits. One of the most well-known variations is a specific allele called the 7R allele, which is associated with novelty-seeking behavior. Individuals who carry this allele are more likely to seek out new and exciting experiences, take risks, and exhibit impulsive behavior.
Studies have also found a link between the DRD4-A gene and personality traits such as extraversion, openness to experience, and sensation-seeking. Individuals with certain variations of the gene may be more likely to engage in sensation-seeking behaviors such as gambling, drug use, and thrill-seeking activities.
Furthermore, the DRD4-A gene has been implicated in various psychiatric disorders, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Research has suggested that certain variations of the gene may increase an individual’s susceptibility to developing these conditions.
It is important to note that while the DRD4-A gene can influence behavior, it is not the sole determinant of human behavior. Environmental factors, personal experiences, and other genetic factors also play a significant role in shaping an individual’s behavior.
Understanding the role of the DRD4-A gene in human behavior can provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms that drive certain behaviors and traits. This knowledge can help researchers and clinicians develop more targeted interventions and treatments for individuals who may be at risk for certain behaviors or psychiatric disorders.
In conclusion, the DRD4-A gene is a fascinating gene that plays a crucial role in shaping human behavior. By studying this gene and its variations, we can gain a better understanding of the complex interplay between genetics, environment, and behavior. This knowledge can ultimately lead to more effective interventions and treatments for individuals who may be at risk for certain behaviors or psychiatric disorders.
