Giovanni Ribisi

  1. Jared Leto, Requiem for a Dream,1999.  Ribisi and Tobey Maguire passed… on a Hubert Selby Jr role in a Darren Aronofsky film!!!  Legend says they took off after Aronofsky’s orders:  “No sex and sugar for 30 days to help appreciate… overwhelming craving.” And so Jared became Ellen Burstyn’s son, Jennifer Connelly’s lover and Marlon Wayans’ pal – in a cast of drug addicts.  All in brilliant form.  We recognise the actors,” praised Roger Ebert, “but barely,”
  2. Steven Kozlowski, Hero Wanted, 2007. Wisely rejected the proffered Lynch McGraw in what proved a direct-to-DVD number.
