The Lost Roles Of Bill Murray

Casting is one of the most important processes in movie making. Placing the right actors in the right roles can determine whether or not an entire film rings true. Thus, casting directors and filmmakers consider a wide range of possibilities before going into production. In this column, we’ll be taking a look at the missed opportunities — the roles that could have been — and exploring how some casting choices that almost happened could have changed careers, projects, and the comedy industry, at large.

Bill Murray is possibly the most respected comic actor of his generation and one who successfully made the difficult transition to drama, receiving numerous awards and nominations along the way. His career has spanned five decades and multiple genres, so it’s no wonder he has more than his fair share of parts that other actors have beat him out for or that he flat-out turned down. In recent years, this is partly due to Murray getting rid of his agent and manager. In their place, he’s set up a toll-free line through which show business folk can leave him messages. He checks the voicemail infrequently. Although this guarantees him a level of privacy and a barrier between him and the business, it’s caused him to miss out on a few choice parts, as well.

Scheduling conflicts while working on other movies, as well as changes made in the lengthy development process also contributed to Murray missing out on a number of projects, so it’s not like Bill Murray just has some incredible inability to tell when he’s offered a great part. Every actor or actress has a history of missed roles like these, as it’s not always easy to determine from reading a script whether the finished product will be any good.

While taking some of these parts would have drastically altered Bill Murray’s career trajectory, others are landmines that he wisely sidestepped. Without further ado, here is an obsessive list of roles Bill Murray was considered for, passed on, or filmed only to have the scenes left on the cutting room floor.

1. Star Wars (1977)
The role: Han Solo
Who got it: Harrison Ford
George Lucas auditioned dozens of big actors for the original
Star Wars, trying to find the right person for each part. As absurd as Murray playing Han Solo sounds, he’s not the oddest actor who auditioned. Kurt Russell, Christopher Walken, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, as well as Murray’s frequent comedy costars Steve Martin and Chevy Chase, were all considered to play the guy behind the wheel of the Milennium Falcon, too.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
It’s arguable. While the movie would have given Murray his largest exposure yet, the part wasn’t right for him. Considering the actor’s reluctance to embrace his fame, it’s probably for the best that he didn’t become part of the worldwide Star Wars phenomenon that would have catapulted him to superstardom. He would have had the same trouble Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher faced when trying to break away from their public perceptions as these prolific characters.

Was this good for the movie?
Absolutely. While Bill Murray’s propensity for ad-libbing could have improved upon George Lucas’s spotty dialogue, it’s hard to imagine he’d make a better Han Solo than Harrison Ford.

2. National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978)
The role: “Boone” Schoenstein
Who got it: Peter Riegert
The original plan was to cast Chevy Chase as Otter, Bill Murray as Boon, Dan Aykroyd as D-Day, and of course, John Belushi as Bluto. Chevy Chase was interested but chose to make Foul Play instead. Scheduling conflicts with SNL allowed for only Belushi to accept his part. Lorne Michaels didn’t want three of his most popular cast members spending half the week in Hollywood filming Animal House instead of prepping for the show.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. Animal House was the first blockbuster comedy, the highest grossing film in the genre up until this point, turning Belushi into a star overnight. The part would have given Murray ample opportunity to improvise and to pin down his big screen persona early.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Looking back, I can’t imagine passing this comedic dream team up. Putting Chase, Aykroyd, Murray, and Belushi together onscreen while they were all bursting with youthful energy couldn’t have failed.

3. The Jerk (1979)
Murray filmed a scene in The Jerk that was left on the cutting room floor and the footage inexplicably hasn’t surfaced yet on YouTube or as a special feature. The Jerk was released during Murray’s stint on SNL , and Murray sarcastically panned the film on Weekend Update, saying: “There’s something missing.”

Was this good for Murray’s career?
This was just a cameo, so it wasn’t make-or-break for Murray.

Was this good for the movie?
No. I’ve been aware of this scene’s existence for years but have never found an explanation for why it was cut. I can’t imagine a scene between Bill Murray and Steve Martin, at the height of their comedic powers at the time, was unfunny.

4. The Dead Zone (1983)
The role: Johnny Smith
Who got it? Christopher Walken
Bill Murray was Stephen King’s first choice, but others on the production felt differently.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. If Murray had ended up in this role, it would have established his diverse abilities early on and given him freedom to travel between genres.

Was this good for the movie?
Yes. Christopher Walken gives a frightening, memorable performance. Murray could have pulled off something similar, but it would have taken a lot of work to nail the part like Walken did.

5. Splash (1984)
The role: Allen Bauer
Who got it: Tom Hanks
Murray, along with several other actors including John Travolta and Michael Keaton, turned the part down before the producers went to Tom Hanks.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
Yes. While Splash was a hit, Murray had bigger fish to fry at the time. He was busy filming Ghostbusters , which became the highest grossing comedy of all time upon its release.

Was this good for the movie?
Hard to say. Although Tom Hanks is a more natural romantic lead, Murray could have added some much-needed edge to this warm and fuzzy film. His scenes with John Candy and Eugene Levy would definitely have been entertaining.

6. The Three Amigos (1986)
The role: Dusty Bottoms
Who got it: Chevy Chase
Three Amigos had been in development for several years before it entered production. In a 1980 interview, Steve Martin mentioned plans to star in the project with Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. In 1981, Steven Spielberg became interested in directing the film. He wanted Bill Murray, Steve Martin, and Robin Williams to play the Three Amigos. After some contemplation, Spielberg chose to make E.T. instead.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
Yes and no. While this would have been a great role and a lot of talent was involved, Spielberg has never been a dependable director of comedy. Take 1941 for example, Spielberg’s first flop, which starred Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi and still managed to be unfunny. John Landis was a much better choice, but by the time he got to the project, Murray had moved on.

Was this good for the movie?
Yes. Murray’s involvement is tied in with Spielberg’s. Although Spielberg is a great director, he’s a little inept with comedy.

7. Legal Eagles (1986)
The role: N/A
Who got it? Debra Winger
Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman were originally attached to star but dropped out due to disappointment with the script. The producers changed Murray’s character to a woman and cast Robert Redford and Debra Winger instead.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
Absolutely. Skipping this one was a wise move on Murray’s part.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Murray and Hoffman showed they worked together well in Tootsie, and they would have made the movie much better, despite potentially hurting their careers.
8. Club Paradise (1986)
The role: Jack Moniker
Who got it? Robin Williams
Harold Ramis’s plan for this forgettable and muddled comedy was to cast Bill Murray as the lead, with John Cleese playing the part that later went to Peter O’Toole. Both actors were initially interested, but Murray felt the character was too similar to the one he played in Meatballs and Cleese didn’t want to spend several weeks filming in the West Indies.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
Yes. While Ramis is an incredibly talented writer and director, and he had a natural rapport with Murray, not much could save Club Paradise from itself.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Murray’s ad-libbing abilities and his habit of re-writing the scripts to his movies himself would certainly have helped, and it would have been great to see him work with John Cleese and the SCTV refugees that made up the rest of the cast. The finished film would have been better, but still lacking.

9. The Witches of Eastwick (1987)
The role: Daryl Van Horne
Who got it? Jack Nicholson
Bill Murray was originally cast in the role but dropped out before filming began.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. While I’m sure missing this one was no major regret of his, the film wound up being a well-reviewed, financial success that could only have helped Bill Murray out.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Nicholson had played similar parts to this one, so it wasn’t as shocking when he popped up as a villain in this movie. For Murray, this would have been a break from the sarcastic slacker heroes he tended to play in the ‘80s, but the character was still within his wheelhouse. Murray could have given a surprising performance that added a level of unpredictability to the film.

10. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988)
The role: Eddie Valiant
Who got it? Bob Hoskins
Murray was director Robert Zemeckis and producer Steven Spielberg’s first choice, but they were forced to pick a different actor after being unable to get a hold of him. Murray was very upset when he heard this years later and says he definitely would have accepted the role.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. Roger Rabbit was a big success, and it would have been good for Murray to branch out with a quality family film. It’s a very funny movie that’s edgier than most Disney fare and worthy of his talents. Sandwiched in between the massively successful Ghostbusters movies, starring in Roger Rabbit would have continued Murray’s hot streak and solidified his status as one of the most bankable actors in Hollywood.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Although Bob Hoskins handles the role ably, Murray would have been much funnier and a marked improvement.

11. Rain Man (1988)
The role: Charlie Babbitt
Who got it? Tom Cruise
Dustin Hoffman wanted Murray to play his character’s brother.
Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. Rain Man could have been the transition into respected dramatic fare that Bill Murray wouldn’t receive until he met Wes Anderson a decade later.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Cruise does fine here, but Murray has a great ability to play selfish jerks like this character without making them completely detestable. Murray and Hoffman have nice screen chemistry, and the film could have been even better with Murray as Charlie.

12. Batman (1989)
The role: Bruce Wayne/Batman
Who got it? Michael Keaton
Tim Burton considered Bill Murray, amongst others, for the role of the Dark Knight. If it sounds strange to you (and it should), remember that Michael Keaton got his start as a stand-up and was mainly known for comedies like Mr. Mom and Night Shift until Batman. Murray was just as odd a choice as Keaton at the time.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
Hard to say. The role definitely would have bolstered Murray’s fame, and he could have played the part straight, but I doubt audiences would have warmed to him as Batman. On the other hand, if Bill Murray’s Batman had succeeded, it would have been easier for him to branch out into dramatic roles in the ‘90s and kept him at the top of the A-list.

Was this good for the movie?
Yes. Bill Murray would have been fine in the role, but fans and audiences might have been more reluctant to embrace him as a tough crime fighter. Given Murray’s habit of refusing to do sequels (the only two he’s ever done are Ghostbusters II and
Garfield 2), he may have left the series even earlier than Michael Keaton did.

13. Kindergarten Cop (1990)
The role: John Kimble
Who got it? Arnold Schwarzenegger
Director Ivan Reitman offered Murray the part before he went to Schwarzenegger.
Was the decision good for Murray’s career?
Yes. This doesn’t seem like a natural fit. If the movie had still succeeded with Murray in the driver’s seat, Murray might have been typecast in family movies, and who would want that? Schwarzenegger’s success here predates his roles in tripe like Junior and Jingle All the Way.

Was this good for the movie?
Yes. This is a vehicle that feels tailor-made for Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I can’t see Bill Murray as a tough cop.

14. Philadelphia (1993)
The role: Joe Miller
Who got it? Denzel Washington
Director Jonathan Demme wanted a comedic actor as counter balance against Tom Hanks, and he considered Bill Murray and Robin Williams for the role before nixing the idea and choosing Washington.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. Murray could have exceeded in this part. Like Rain Man, it’s just another example of a dramatic role he almost got years ahead of Hollywood accepting him as a serious actor.

Was this good for the movie?
Yes. Although Murray definitely would have brought a different energy to the part, it’s hard to imagine him being better suited than Denzel Washington.

15. Forrest Gump (1994)
The role: Forrest Gump
Who got it? Tom Hanks
Forrest Gump is just as strange a potential Bill Murray role as
Batman. The actor turned the part down when it was offered to him early in the development process. Chevy Chase was also offered the part but said no, claiming years later that the script he was shown was an early draft drastically different from the finished product. It’s possible Murray saw this same version of the script, so it makes sense that he would turn it down.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
Absolutely. As strong an actor as Bill Murray is, I don’t know if he could have pulled off playing a mentally-challenged man. I can’t get the image of him as Carl Spackler from Caddyshack on a bench eating chocolates out of my head.

Was this good for the movie?
Yes. This is the role Tom Hanks was born to play. He manages to portray Gump with the right mix of humor and sentimentality, making sure the audience laughs with Forrest Gump more than they laugh at him.

16. Toy Story (1995)
The role: Buzz Lightyear
Who got it? Tim Allen
When Bill Murray turned down the role, the Pixar people went to Billy Crystal, who also said no before Tim Allen accepted.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. Fantastic Mr. Fox proved that Murray is a natural and charming voice actor, but it’s really a shame the bulk of his voice work has been on the Garfield films.

Was this good for the movie?
Yes. Tim Allen is a natural fit as Buzz Lightyear, and Murray wouldn’t have been believable as this naive, good-natured character. The writers would have had to make Buzz more hard-edged and sardonic if Murray took the part, and these tweaks could have derailed the entire film.

17. Bottle Rocket (1995)
The role: Mr. Henry
Who got it? James Caan
Murray’s professional relationship with writer/director Wes Anderson has lasted almost as long as his similar set-up with Harold Ramis. Murray has appeared in every Anderson movie since they first worked together on Rushmore in ‘98. Anderson’s first movie, Bottle Rocket, is the only one not to include Bill Murray, but the director did try to cast him. Anderson called Murray’s agent, who, at the time, wasn’t able to get a hold of him as he was traveling around in a Winnebago.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. Murray and Anderson always work well together, and although this wasn’t a huge part, it would have been great seeing them collaborate a little earlier.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Murray would have been right at home in Bottle Rocket’s loopy, offbeat universe and would have adapted to Anderson’s tone more naturally than Caan.

18. The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996)
The role: Larry Flynt
Who got it? Woody Harrelson
Murray and Tom Hanks were considered before Harrelson was given the role. Director Milos Forman claims Murray never returned his calls.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. Harrelson was mainly a comedic actor up until this point and this was a turning point for him, resulting in his first Oscar nomination. This would have been a great opportunity for Murray and a role he could handleably.

Was this good for the movie?
Toss up. Woody Harrelson gives an impressive performance as Flynt. Murray would have been able to do just as well.

19. There’s Something About Mary (1998)
The role: Pat Healy
Who got it? Matt Dillon
Murray was considered for the part, but the Farrelly brothers decided he was too old.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. This is a great character for Murray and his own twisted take on the sleazy P.I. character would have helped keep him in hits.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Bill Murray proved he could work well with the Farrelly brothers in Kingpin, and his is one of my favorite performances in any Farrelly movie.

20. Monsters, Inc. (2001)
The role: Sulley
Who got it? John Goodman
Murray screen tested for the role and was interested, but when director Pete Docter was unable to make contact with him, he took it as a “no.”

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. Monsters, Inc. is a much better fit for Bill Murray than the Garfield movies, and the success of this film would have helped him with other projects. We’ve all seen how the Shrek movies have been Eddie Murphy’s biggest hits in recent years, keeping his career afloat. Murray could have pulled off something similar.

Was this good for the movie?
John Goodman gives a memorable performance as Sulley, and it’s hard to argue that Bill Murray would have been any better or worse. Like in Toy Story, the character would probably have to be tweaked a little to fit Murray’s persona, but that could have worked here.

21. Bad Santa (2003)
The role: Willie Stokes
Who got it? Billy Bob Thornton
Bill Murray was the first choice and was in final negotiations before dropping out to make Lost in Translation.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
Yes. Although Bad Santa’s a funny movie and Murray would have been great as the lead, choosing Lost in Translation over this project was a smart move. He ended up receiving his first Oscar nomination, and Lost in Translation legitimized Murray’s status as a serious actor.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Murray could have added a little more warmth and sympathy to the role than Billy Bob Thornton, while still remaining mean and rude. It would be like an entire film revolving around Murray’s Groundhog Day character Phil Connors on one of his bad days, and that’s something I’d love to see. Don’t get me wrong, Thornton was great here, but the prospect of Bill Murray in this role is too good to pass up.

22. The Ice Harvest (2005)
The role: Bill Guerrard
Who got it? Randy Quaid
Back in 2004, the New Yorker ran a lengthy profile on Harold Ramis and the effect he’s had on film comedy. In it, Ramis mentions trying to get Bill Murray to play a small part here. At the time, the two hadn’t spoken since a spat they had while filming Groundhog Day , but it’s not clear if this silence still lasts today. Ramis had Bill’s older brother Brian Doyle-Murray offer Bill the part, but Bill declined.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
Taking this part wouldn’t have made much of a difference for Murray career-wise, but it would be nice to see him reconnect with Ramis, with whom he has made many of his memorable movies.

Was this good for the movie?
No. As evidenced by his cameos in Zombieland and Little Shop of Horrors, Murray can take a small part and use it to add a manic intensity to the project at hand. While it wouldn’t have drastically changed the quality of The Ice Harvest, Murray’s scenes could have been highlights.

23. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
The role: Willy Wonka
Who got it? Johnny Depp
Tim Burton considered Bill Murray, amongst others, before selecting Johnny Depp.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. Murray would have been great as the off-kilter, fun-loving Willy Wonka, and the movie would have introduced him to a new generation of potential fans, while pleasing those who had been following him for decades. The success of the film could have kept him a bankable leading man and shown off his diversity.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Murray is a natural and worthy successor to Gene Wilder and this is a part he could get a lot out of, elevating the quality of the film as a whole.

24. The Squid and the Whale (2005)
The role: Bernard Berkman
Who got it? Jeff Daniels
Filmmaker Noah Baumbauch had Murray in mind for the lead but was unable to get a hold of him.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. This would have been a perfect project for Murray and would have kept the momentum going with another critically-acclaimed hit after Lost in Translation. He could have nailed this role and received some major accolades. Daniels obtained a Golden Globe nomination for the part, and Murray could have done the same, if not more.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Jeff Daniels handles the role well, but he doesn’t have Bill Murray’s aloofness. Even Murray’s darkest characters carry themselves with an air of humor, and it would have been great to see this ability to recognize the absurdity of his surroundings juxtaposed with the character’s snooty intellectualism and depression. Murray could have made Bernard Berkman a more complicated and endearing character.

25. Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
The role: Frank Ginsberg
Who got it? Steve Carell
It’s hard to imagine anyone but Steve Carell as Frank, but he actually wasn’t the filmmakers’ first choice. The part was written for Bill Murray, and this was another one he passed on. Murray later said he regrets missing out on the role.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
No. Little Miss Sunshine was a critical and commercial success and a major awards contender. Alan Arkin won an Oscar for his performance, and Murray might have received a nomination too. Not to say that his performance would have been that much better than Carell’s, but the Academy has a habit of looking upon past nominees more kindly.

Was this good for the movie?
It’s arguable. Steve Carell and Bill Murray are both capable actors, and this just comes down to personal preference.

26. How Do You Know (2010)
The role: Charles Madison
Who got it? Jack Nicholson
Murray was James L. Brooks’s first choice to play Paul Rudd’s father, and he even started rehearsing with the cast before dropping out.

Was this good for Murray’s career?
Yes. This is another bomb that Murray wisely dodged. The film was a critical and commercial flop, but it still would have been interesting seeing Murray and Rudd’s scenes together. James L. Brooks is one of the most influential comedy writer/directors out there, and it’s a shame he’s never cast Murray in a better film.

Was this good for the movie?
No. Murray would have been a better fit as Paul Rudd’s father and could have improved the project significantly.

The Dark Truth About Our Gang's Little Radical

The Little Rascals comedy shorts were incredibly popular in the early years of film, but the crew could easily be described as cursed— many of the cast members died under horrifying circumstances, not limited to murder, plane crashes, suicide, and motorcycle accidents.

The Whole Bushel

Beginning in 1922, a series of live-action comedy shorts starring a group of children called Our Gang hit the silver screen. The shorts were a hit, and over decades, a constantly evolving cast of “Little Rascals” entertained audiences, new kids joining up as older ones grew into their teens. While many cast members lived full, normal lives following their stint on the program, a chilling number went on to perish in most terrible fashion.

Bobby Hutchins (20) and Donald Haines (23) both died while serving in World War II. Billy “Froggy” Laughlin died at just 16 when his motor scooter was struck by a car. Norman “Chubby” Chaney died of a glandular ailment at 21. Kendall McComas (64) and Scott Beckett (38) committed suicide. Darla Hood, who frequently figured in as the show’s love interest, died of a heart attack at 47 after contracting hepatitis from a blood transfusion.

In 2002, Jay R. Smith, who lived to 87 years old, was stabbed to death by a homeless man he had befriended. His corpse was found in the desert north of Las Vegas, Nevada. Robert Blake, who successfully made the transition from child to adult actor, found himself in the crosshairs of a murder investigation when his second wife, Bonnie Lee Bakly, was killed in 2001. Blake was acquitted of the charges, but was found liable for her death in a subsequent civil trial.

Perhaps the most famous rascal of all was Carl “Alfalfa” Switzer, the freckled, cowlicked boy who yearned for the affections of his beloved Darla. Switzer left the show in 1940 at the age of 12, and though he had a few bit parts afterward, including roles in such classics as It’s a Wonderful Life and The Ten Commandments, his acting career was pretty much over. Switzer did a series of odd jobs afterward; he had a talent in particular for training hunting dogs. On January 21, 1959, Switzer got into an argument with another man concerning a dog and a debt of $50. He was shot in the groin and bled to death. He was 31. Sixteen years later, Carl’s brother Harold (who also appeared on the series) killed a man in a dispute, then committed suicide at the age of 42.

From The Clone To Prisoner No. 1: We Present A List Of Shows From The 2010s That Have Never Aired On Telemundo Africa

Evoultion Of Kids TV: Barney's Horrifying Childhood All Documented In Peacock's I Love You, You Hate Me

For anyone who was a kid in the '90s, the lyrics "I love you, you love me/We're a happy family" probably hold a special place in your heart.

The mantra made famous by an in-costume Barney the Dinosaur on the super-popular children's series Barney & Friends preached love, acceptance and positivity. While the set was a joy-filled space for all who worked on the show, not everyone outside the TV studio was a fan of the eternally optimistic purple dino.

Peacock's new documentary series I Love You, You Hate Me dives deep into the sub culture of Barney haters who formed a community that revolted against his message of kindness.

Originally created by Texas mother Sheryl Leach as a companion for her only child, Patrick Leach, Barney eventually took off in popularity, with the PBS series becoming the network's most-watched kids' show in the '90s. And while there were many who loved the character, the show also had its share of detractors, including critics who literally bashed versions of the dinosaur and parents, fed up with that earworm of a song, who formed a not-so-secret society.

Celebs Who Appeared on Barney & Friends

From "Barney bashing" to actual death threats sent to some cast and crew, Barney became a target for hate. The success of the brand even took a toll on the Leach family and Patrick would eventually have a shocking run-in with the law no one saw coming.

Read on for the biggest bombshells and shocking revelations about the Barney backlash in I Love You, You Hate Me, now streaming on Peacock.

1. Barney Bashing Becomes a Trend

During the early '90s, critics who bonded over their hatred for the eternally optimistic children's dinosaur started a trend called "Barney bashing" in which they'd destroy dolls and toys of the character's likeness, take their rage out on Barney piñatas and even call for Barney's death.

As Travis Fox, a former University of Nebraska student, stated in the documentary, "I was the originator of a Barney bashing event at U of N at Lincoln in 1993...I think the reason we specifically went after Barney was it was the replacement to our Sesame Street. He was encroaching on our childhood. So we decided that we would kind of push back."

According to Lori Wendt, the Leach family's former babysitter, "Sheryl had a hard time understanding why someone could be so hateful and so angry over something that was made with such good intentions, with such pure heart."

2. Gay Rumors Emerge

After conservative activist Rev. Jerry Falwell accused Teletubbies character Tinky Winky of pushing a gay agenda on children in 1999, some started wondering about Barney the big purple dinosaur's sexual orientation.

The topic became material for comedians and Jon Stewart even joked once on The Daily Show, "Barney the singing dinosaur, who also happens to be purple and allegedly likes to hang out with his pals Tyrannosaurus Rex, Tyrannosaurus Lance and Tyrannosaurus Bruce."

3. The "I Hate Barney Secret Society" Is Created

Interviewee Rob Curran claimed in the doc that his daughter became "transfixed" by Barney as a toddler, much to his annoyance. "Barney only appeals to a 3-year-old mentality," he stated. "Barney just drove all the parents crazy. I realized I had to do something." So, he created "The I Hate Barney Secret Society," a newsletter and community for anti-Barney parents like him. "We are a support group for parents who have a Barney addict in the family," he explained. "I just gave a voice to all the fears of all the parents."

In just a few weeks, the newsletter got 7,000 sign-ups.

4. Barney Haters Form a Jihad

Like Curran, Sean Breen found community as the former leader of "The Jihad to Destroy Barney," an online group in which Barney haters created fan fiction with the goal of defeating fictionalized Barney villains. "Our criticism of Barney was it was all about conformity and consensus," Breen explained, "and that's a very ‘90s attitude."

5. Barney Bashing Gets Physical

In 1993 haters took Barney bashing to the next level. Citing a news report, the documentary explained how, "In a Galveston, Texas K-Mart, three boys aged 10, 11 and 12 attacked a man dressed up as Barney. They punched Barney and tried to tear off the dinosaur's head."

David Letterman even poked fun at the backlash during a Late Show episode, adding "Beat the crap out of Barney in a Texas shopping mall" to his segment "Top 10 Things That Will Get You on the Evening News."

6. Death Threats Begin

Former Barney & Friends music director Bob Singleton recounted his first experience with the Barney backlash, "The first time I really heard about Barney bashing was when I was nominated for a Grammy." While doing a radio interview about the achievement, he recalled, "There were people saying, 'His music drives me crazy. I'd just love to get my fingers around that guy's neck.' I was surprised that they felt like they wanted to do me physical harm. And it wasn't just one or two phone calls."

Singleton later unlisted his phone number. "I was in fear," he said. "I got actual death and dismemberment of my family emails. I really don't want to revisit it, that was a terrible time. It hurt so bad."

7. More Cast Members Get Threatened

Bob West, the original voice of Barney from 1988-2000, said he received similar threats. "I started getting emails, from middle school kids especially," he shared. "And some of them were very nice and some of them were absolutely hateful. They were very explicit and very violent. There was one email that asked, 'Are you the Barney that I stabbed and shot outside of New Orleans?' Then they went on to say they were going to come and find me and they were going to kill me."

8. Chicken Controversy & Lawsuits

Ted Giannoulis, the man behind famous San Diego sports mascot The Chicken, began incorporating Barney bashing into his game day comedy acts. "I decided to do a dance-off contest with Barney the Dinosaur," he recalled in the doc. "Suddenly he breaks into this great break dancing that puts me to shame." A "ticked off" Giannoulis would then tackle Barney on the field and rough the dinosaur up as fans cheered him on in the stands.

Sheryl Leach's company sued Giannoulis in 1998 for copyright infringement and asked for payment for using Barney's likeness. Unfortunately for team Barney, the law was on Giannoulis' side as he recounted from the court's dismissal of the case that his use of the character "clearly qualifies as a parody," a form of protected speech.

9. The Beginning of the End

In 1998, Sheryl decided to step away from her role at Barney & Friends. As Sloan Coleman, former SVP of Live Events, said, "Once Sheryl departed, it really was never the same again."

Then in the early 2000s, two more pivotal crew members left. Bob West walked away after more than a decade of voicing Barney ("I was bored," he explained) and David Joyner, the man inside the costume from 1991 to 2001, left to pursue other acting opportunities.

Soon after, Barney was sold to a giant media conglomerate for $275 million, and was later cancelled in 2010.

10. Kid Actors' Troubled Teens

Several child actors who appeared on Barney & Friends shared how they faced hardships after their time on the show. Pia Hamilton, who played Min from 1992 to 1996, and Hope Cervantes, who portrayed Tosha from 1992 to 1996, recalled being bullied in school and getting called names like "Barney lover" and "Barney girl." Cervantes added, "I did turn to drugs and alcohol to cope, to deal."

Ricky Carter, who played Derek from 1990 to 1995, admitted he began hanging around the wrong crowds and doing drugs after Barney. In 2004, he said he found himself in a potentially fatal situation when a supposed friend pulled a gun on him and asked for everything he had. "I jumped out the car and that's when he shot me in the spine," Carter explained. He said he was initially told he would be paralyzed for life, but after extensive therapy he was able to walk again.

11. Patrick Leach's Troubled Childhood

In a 2001 Katie Couric interview, Sheryl admitted her only child, son Patrick Leach, was bullied over his connection to the famed dinosaur.

Patrick would later have a violent run-in with a neighbor that landed him in prison, and the commutation application to shorten his prison sentence shed light into his troubled childhood. "Mr. Leach faced significant challenges as a child and entering early adulthood," Charles Mittelstadt, a Criminal Defense Investigator, quoted the commutation application document. "When he was young, his mother was busy building a successful career and his father struggled with depression. Mr. Leach's parents separated when he was 14 years old and divorced three years later. During that time Mr. Leach developed a brain tumor—benign—that was surgically removed."

12. Jim Leach's Tragic End

When Patrick was just 18, his father Jim Leach died by suicide several years after his and Sheryl's divorce.

13. Patrick Leach Shooting

By 2013, Patrick was 27 and living in Malibu. That January, Patrick shot his neighbor Erick Shanks on Shanks' property after accusing him of trespassing on his. (Shanks survived.) Patrick fled but was soon arrested with multiple firearms in his possession, according to L.A. deputy district attorney Brenda Lee.

Patrick plead no contest to assault with a deadly weapon and in 2015 was sentenced to 15 years in prison, but ultimately only served five years after a commutation.

Criminal Defense Investigator Charles Mittelstadt shared his own insight into Patrick's mental state at the time, "By him own admission he became essentially almost addicted to marijuana to where it was coping mechanism as a way to numb his emotions...It sort of amped up his anxiety and amped up his paranoia."

Escaping Gibby: A Look Into The Life Of Noah Munck From The Comfort Of His Sadworld

When he appeared on set you knew something funny or strange or downright uncomfortable was about to happen.

Gibby was a chubby, outlandish yet lover character casted on Nickelodeon's most popular live-action series in history, iCarly. Noah Munck is the actor behind the Gibby character. He was originally suppose to be on 1 or 2 episodes but he provided so much comedic value that the producers kept him on as a regular.

Overtime, Gibby got tired of the corny, childish humour and constantly being the butt of the joke brought a lot of ramifications in his real life including people shutting his name out loud to take his shirt off and dance. You'll probably be surprised to find out what Noah's career looks like today which consists of cryptic and esoteric videos alongside an underground music career.

Today, we're gonna look at how Noah's life was impacted by iCarly and how he managed to escape his identity as Gibby.

Noah Munck was a typical Orange County teenager who played football and went to public school. He knew he was interested in arts so he got into acting classes which led to him doing plays and performances. His acting classes would have talent agent auditions where agents would come and look for the next big star.

At 10 years old, he got an agent who got him his first audition which was for the show iCarly. The audition was just for an episode or 2 but the production team realised how valuable he'd be as a goofy side character so he became a regular for 57 episodes.

iCarly was about a young girl who ran a internet blog with millions of viewers. Her best friend Sam is her co host, her friend Freddy is their filmer/tech support and it is all filmed in the upstairs of her brother's apartment.

Gibby is just a kid that goes to school with them, he's an easy target for jokes and he is someone they can pick on. By the end of season 1, he became more of a friend to them a wacky friend but he has a lot of endearing qualities to him. He's sweet, very friendly, pretty stupid but he isn't someone you want to bully.

He was totally unrelatable consistently doing ridiculous things that you're totally excited for the unpredictability that he would bring next. He was mostly famous for saying his character name as a catchphrase and taking his shirt off frequently that it became a normal thing.

At the time, Noah didn't this as iCarly was his first acting job ever so he was basically willing to do anything. However, Noah was aware of what people were saying about him online. iCarly was a TV show about a web show that actually had a website with blog posts and trivia. Viewers could also leave comments on the website.

Noah said at the age of 10/1 he was reading rude comments about his appearance which made him feel bad. His parents discovered a website for people with fat boy fetishes that he was posted all over. Needless to say, Noah had mixed emotions about the whole taking his shirt off thing.

His parents never forced him to continue acting because it was his passion. They were always around and kept a close eye on him. Noah speaks nothing but the highest of praise for his parents.

In a tweet, it was revealed that Noah and his iCarly co-star Nathan had a love for dubstep. Noah said when he was around 13, one of the iCarly crew members Daniel Gonzalez gave him MF Doom and Dayla Soul mixtapes which drove his love for music and led him to become a music producer/DJ.

The last iCarly episode was filmed later in 2011 and by season 4 and 5, Gibby was the main character, his success and evolution was popular in iCarly that series creator Dan Schneider felt his character deserved his own spinoff TV show of the same name which remains a mystery.

There was a pilot episode filmed and edited according to Dan but never aired or leaked onto the internet. All that was available was the title card and logo for the show alongside the script for the very first episode, photos of the cast and set it was filmed. No one knows what happened, all that we know is Gibby never got his own show and 2012 marked the official end of iCarly.

5 seasons of what people consider to be the best live-action show of all time, Noah stayed busy trying to get roles in other projects. Later in 2012, he got a lead role in Nicky Deuce which is meant to the reboot of The Sopranos which has some of the original cast members.

The film didn't go to theatres and it isn't highly praised or anything but acting alongside those legends was an absolute accomplishment. After this film, Noah was sick of children's TV and the corny humour that he knew it was time to leave that behind.

In 2013, he went back to high school for his senior year, he doesn't consider himself a social outcast but had a difficult time mixing with kids who knew each other their whole lives. He would spend most of his free time on Ableton learning how to make music.

He produced dubstep under the name nobsik then moved on to EDM trap and even experimented with rapping a little bit. It didn't take him long to want to get back into acting luckily he landed a role as Naked Rob in the 1980s based sitcom, The Goldbergs.

Noah acts as a side character that is a best friend to one of the main characters, he's starred in several episodes across 9 seasons and somehow managed to bag shows that managed to last him an average amount of seasons.

However it seemed as if Noah had the ghost of Gibby lurking around him. His new passions were not met up with the utmost praise from fans, he was 18 at the time and a few years removed from Nickelodeon.

Whenever he would post about his new projects or anything he was interested in, he'd be flooded with troll and hate comments, accompanied by people who would make him feel insecure about his appearance. He abandoned the Noah Munck Twitter and Instagram because of trolls and people calling him Gibby.

Gibby was kind of a punching bag in the show so he feels that the fans do it back to him. Not figuring out how to seperate Gibby the character and Noah Munck in real life. Noah doesn't take it too personally but it gets tiring when you want to move on your life and talk about your interests and everyone wants you to remain that thing as you were at the age of 13.

He did also deal with people demanding him to take his shirt off literally yelling across a restaurant while he is eating with his family. One time, a random girl just jumped on his back while he was walking across the street. He started to resent the Gibby character a little bit.

Noah is truly a sweet and wholesome guy, he didn't want to resent his past, it led to an angsty face for him. He really leaned to his passion of SoundCloud rap and producing. He started an obscure YouTube channel called Sadworld Online

Then 20 year old started posting his material which included poorly scripted shitpost comedy that quickly developed a cold fanbase. All the music in the YouTube series was produced by him which helped fans get interested in his music. The raunchy side of humour is something we all needed, the TVMA rated Gibby that no one could make fun of Noah anymore because he embraced his appearance and leaned to it for comedy.

He genuinely built a fanbase of his new art, at one point it bothered him that his embarassing moments were on the internet forever now he looks back at the Gibby character fondly.

Sadly, Gibby did not make a return for the iCarly reboot in 2021 or make an appearance in season 2. A fan asked Jake Hogan, a writer on the iCarly reboot about Noah's absence and replied "we approached him".

This means that they had reached out to him but he denied it could have been a couple of things. He was probably busy working hard on another show and side projects. Another reason similar to how anyone would feel about reboots he wants to leave Gibby in the past.

Only in the past few years did he come to terms with the Gibby character before that he did mixed emotions. He knew that if he had to return for the reboot he had to relive the struggles of Gibby where people will flood social media about his appearance, his acting career would hit the mercy of one character. A lot of actors want to outlive their roles plus we all know that they'd want him to take his shirt off at least once which as a grown man some people may not be interested in.

Noah managed to remove the box of Gibby and now he can look at it as a positive experience all from the comfort of his Sadworld.

Recently during a conversation, Sushant’s father KK Singh told a TV channel, ‘My child cannot commit suicide. He was not stupid, he was courageous, and he was fast-paced. He didn’t have the temperament to commit suicide. We have been watching him since childhood and we know what a brave and bold person he was.

Sushant’s father KK Singh had alleged that his son was murdered and Riya Chakraborty was also involved in this murder. Rhea Chakraborty was questioned by the investigating agencies in the case. Along with the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate and the Narcotics Control Bureau are also involved in this investigation. The case is with the CBI and so far the investigating agency has not disclosed the cause of death.

There were 2-3 marks on the neck

Rupkumar Shah, a mortuary servant of Cooper Hospital in Mumbai, told the TV9 channel, “When Sushant Singh Rajput died, we found five bodies in Cooper Hospital for postmortem. One of those five bodies was a VIP body. When we went to conduct the postmortem, it was found that he was Sushant and there were many marks on his body.

There were also two-three marks on his neck. The postmortem needed to be recorded, but the higher authorities had only asked for pictures of the body to be taken. We did the same as per the order. ‘

This is not suicide, it is murder

He further says, “When I first saw Sushant’s body, I immediately told my seniors that I think it is not suicide but murder. I even told them that we should act according to the rules. However, my seniors told me to take pictures as soon as possible and hand over the body to the police. This was the reason why the postmortem was done at night. ‘

On the other hand, Dr Sachin Sonawane, who conducted Sushant’s postmortem, has said that Roopkumar Shah was not part of his team.

Emmanuelle: A Look Into One Of The Wildest And Bizzare Shows From e.tv

Emmanuelle is a late night show that was beamed onto eMedia Investments' only TV channel at the time e.tv. For those who were familiar with the Emmanuelle, the series despite being a bit inappropriate for daytime audiences explored one's inner fantasies.

Before it was pulled from the channel, Emmanuelle managed to attract a million audiences which is huge considering the timeslot it was allocated being 10pm. I don't why I thought of doing this maybe because I was too a victim at some point which I honestly doubt.

Since Dark Side Of The Ring, I've been used to reading up on stuff and diving down into their early life which is the case for Emmanuelle but I'll try my best to not bore anyone and only include the important bits. I mean I did read through the whole thing and these parts made a lot more sense.

Character history

Emmanuelle appeared as the pen name of Marayat Rollet-Andriane, a French-Thai actress born in the 1930s in Bangkok . Her 1957 book The Joys of a Woman detailed the sexual exploits of Emmanuelle, the "bored housewife" of a French diplomat. Rollet-Andriane's book caused a sensation in France and was banned.

The producer of another Arsan/Rollet-Andriane film Laure, Ovidio Assonitis, claimed that all books published under the pen name Emmanuelle Arsan were written by her husband Louis-Jacques Rollet-Andriane, rather than by Marayat.

Films

The first Emmanuelle film was the 1974 French theatrical feature Emmanuelle starring Dutch actress Sylvia Kristel became a success with a viewing audience estimated at 300 million. It remains one of France's most successful films, and played in the Arc de Triomphe theatre for over eleven years.

Several sequels starring Kristel followed, beginning with Emmanuelle 2 known as Emmanuelle: The Joys of a Woman in its U.S. release, and also Emmanuelle l’antivierge in some European press materials, including the soundtrack LP and CD.

A number of unofficial productions in Italy, Japan and the United States cashed in on the Emmanuelle craze. Among the best known were Italian "Black Emanuelle" films starring Laura Gemser , who became the second most popular actress to play Emanuelle in the 1970s.

After the last official Emmanuelle theatrical feature film, Emmanuelle au 7ème ciel (the seventh film for which Kristel returns as the main character), ASP began to produce further films, all featuring the character of Emmanuelle, albeit played by a series of actresses. These included a science fiction series in the 1990s called Emmanuelle in Space starring American actress Krista Allen in one of her first roles.

Razia Sultana - The First Woman Sultanate Of India

Razia Sultana was the first woman Sultanate of India, and ruled the court of Delhi from the end of 1236 to 1240. The only ever woman to do so, she defied all odds to occupy the throne, including overcoming conflicts over her gender and her slave ancestry. During her reign, she proved her mettle as a just and capable ruler, and was renowned for her subversive actions, which varied from sporting men’s attire to printing coins in her own name and image.

In 1205, Razia Sultan was born into the household of Shams-us-din Iltutmish as his only daughter. Although he had entered Delhi as a slave worker under Qutb-ud-din, he had impressed the ruler with his efficiency, and had been appointed as a provincial governor. Iltutmish sought to impart these same qualities to all his children, including Razia, and ensured they were all well educated and trained in archery, martial arts, and administration.

On 30th April, 1236, Iltutmish passed away, appointing Razia as his rightful heir. The Muslim nobility refused to accept this, and therefore, they installed her incompetent brother, Rakn ud din Firuz, on the throne. His rule, which was managed by Shah Turkaan, Iltutmish's widow, came to an abrupt end a mere 6 months later, when both he and his mother were assassinated. Razia was finally handed the reigns to the kingdom on 10th November, 1236.

Razia ascended the throne as Jalâlat ud-Dîn Raziyâ, and immediately dropped her veil, replacing it with men’s attire instead. She authoritatively issued coins in her name, proclaiming herself to be the ‘pillar of women’ and ‘Queen of the times.’

She was proud of her kingdom, and worked on conquering new territories and strengthening it. She also made breakthroughs in its administration, and established schools, academies, and public libraries. She gained many supporters and admirers through her reign.

The Turkish nobles were displeased by Razia’s efficient rule as well as her rumoured involvement with Jamal ud-Din Yaqut, an Abyssinnian Siddi slave. Despite her courageous efforts, she was taken into capture, and her brother, Muizuddin Bahram Shah, usurped the throne once Yaqut was murdered.

Malik Altunia, the governor of Bhatinda grew to fall in love with Razia’s charm and wit, and took her as his wife. He rebelled against the Turkish nobles and was determined to win Razia back her kingdom; he planned a siege on behalf of his sovereign. Together, they marched towards Delhi, but were unsuccessful in their conquest. They were defeated by Bahram on 13th October, 1240.

Raziyâ and Altunia fled Delhi after their defeat and reached Baithal the very next day. With their remaining forces abandoning them, they met their unfortunate ends at the hands of the Hindu Jats there, who robbed and killed them.

Till date, the final resting place of Razia remains unknown, with no supporting archaeological or documentary evidence. The site of her grave could be in Baithal, Delhi, or Tonk. Her legacy, however, has stood the test of time; women throughout the ages have invoked her name in their lyrics and in their folklore, spreading her story across distant lands.

How To Share A Corrupted Or Copyrighted File On MediaFire And Likely Other Facilities Like Google Drive?

MediaFire kind of like Google Drive and Dropbox is a storage facility where you can backup your files and as seen through Insidus Games is the hub where we store most of our files as the space is very wide like 10GB of space of which less than 2GB makes Insidus Games.

For those using this app must have noticed that certain files come up with a corrupted or copyright message and I found it odd really as I sourced most of my junk from a few trusted sources but yet again you find nothing wrong in distributing something like Lolo but something as awful as Somari.

If you're reading this I'm assuming you're trying to fix the problem here and l was a victim of such consulted various sites but still no luck so here's how I manage to resolve it:

- Firstly, if you need an app that can compress or zip your files this way it can bypass Google Drive or MediaFire.

- Second select the folder and if you use ES File Explorer there's an option to compress and even comes with levels in case you want to make it high tech.

- Third take that compressed file and upload it to your storage unit and check to see if the file can be shared like some on Insidus Games.

- If a problem persists, I recommend strengthening the file as mentioned in the second option ES does come with levels for their zip folders.
