Robin Weigert

Yes and not, apparently, well liked but I think she is fine.

Who cares? She has beady little eyes set too close together.

I've loved her in everything she's been in. R1, can you say more about her not being well liked? Is she just moody or bossy on the set, or is she not a nice person off the set either?

isn't she with Keith Carradine?

Calamity Jane from Deadwood? I thought she was out.

Her acting has deteriorated into a series of smirks and expressions of false concern.

Moved in with Liz Sarnoff, former producer of LOST ( and scion of the Sarnoff dynasty) and...got a role on...LOST. They broke up. Now she seems to be playing anguished mothers on grade c cable series like Hawthorne, which hires every unemployed lesbian in Hollywood (Sara Gilbert, Anne Ramsey etc)

There are certain shows that just must have a lesbian casting director, the lesbian mafia sponsors it, or who knows what's going on. But it's always funny how if you can find one lesbian on a cast, there's always at least a second.

Examples: Deadwood Lost CSI

I have a theory about why certain actresses, namely the lesbian ones, always have the 'difficult to work with', 'bitch', etc. reputations...%0D %0D The crew on any series is about 95% male, mostly straight. Straight men hit on everyone. Straight women play along enough to sooth the poor straight man's undeservedly large ego because they are well-trained by their real lives in that particular art.%0D %0D Well, lesbians don't even give them the time of day or just give them weird looks when they do their idiotic mating dance in front of them. Hence, 'she's a bitch' is born as the talk of the set and the crew all picks it up and takes it everywhere they go. Poof, a bitch is born.%0D %0D I mean, really, is there even one lesbian actress without a bitch or cold reputation?

Well there aren't even that many out lesbian actresses to begin with..But I think Portia De Rossi was liked. %0D %0D But yes, your theory is probably correct, as sad as it is.

Robin thinks she is superior to the people she works with and that is a problem.

I don't think Portia was really out until her latest series, though, and that only lasted for about six episodes. She wasn't out when she was on Arrested Development, was she? %0D %0D Plus, honestly, she's extremely hot and extremely hot people get passes on getting the 'bitch' tag even when they shoot straight men right in the ego.

She was universally disliked by the cast and crew of the ANGELS IN AMERICA revival this season in NY.

I don't believe she's out. When she was on the show "Life" there was an episode that had people wondering whether her character was gay or not, it was kinda funny. I think she's cute, sorry to hear she has a bad reputation.

Anytime she's in something I try to watch it. I loved Deadwood and Lost.

I also think she's adorable. Just my type.

R13- Why?

The cast of CSI LOVE me!

Is she scheduled to reprise her role on SONS OF ANARCHY this season? I liked her as the Sons' attorney.

She's dating a younger actress with no career named Erin Buckley.

She and Erin broke up a while ago. Erin is a hot fox and way too good for her. And btw, Erin is a playwright and producer and quite busy in her career.

The usual reasons I suspect: Robin was crazy, throwing tantrums, sleeping around, being selfish...am I close?

Robin Weigert was phenomenal on Deadwood. Just a very real, painful portrayal that could've easily slipped into drunken tics. Sarah Paulson was great on it, too, for that matter, during her arc as a sadistic schoolteacher.

Erin Buckley is ...married? To ...a guy?

Tell us about Robin Weiger?

Robin was amazing as Jane. Love that whole series.

Where does it say Erin is married to a guy? Where did that come from? She is a lesbian and she is not married.

what series, R28?

Deadwood.

Is it worth watching, R31? I never watched it.

Having known her, I assure you Robin did not earn her reputation due to the sexism of hetero film crews. She is mean, crazy as a loony-bird, thinks her shit don't stink, and is utterly incapable of apology. I don't think I've ever met anyone less sincere, less self-obsessed. Her daily casual wear should involve a full roll of yellow "CAUTION" tape and the symbol for radioactive waste. If there was scene crime tape on the ground indicating the corpse of everyone she's used and discarded, and if you lined them all up like paperdolls holding hands, they'd stretch at least a mile. At least. There should be a memorial wall maybe. Not a nice person if it doesn't serve her (limited) interests.

Erin deserved better-- certainly saner. Glad she got out in time.

that's "more self-obsessed" not "less"

Yeah, a really hateful person. Emotional vampire to the extreme. AND thinks she's the next Streep.

Golly, r33, sounds like you dated her. ??? Then again, you hear a thing often enough, you'd be stupid not to give rumors some...consideration. And I've heard a lot of... "unfriendly" things about her ways. Too bad.

It sucks when you know somebody is "family", but they're not a person you want to claim as one of your own. Or run into in a dark alley. Or a dark bar. Or run into, period.

Depressing.

Does she have a drug or alcohol problem? Or just certifiably wacko? Sounds like she needs help.

The kind of person who damages people for life. Yes they exist.

I worked with her on a play in nyc and she was lovely to work with

I was disappointed to hear RW spoken about in this way...I thought she came across as a very warm and decent person, onscreen at least. It is a truly horrible feeling when you encounter such animosity for any one person. I wonder if these stories are really true (it doesn't change my perspective either way) and if they are, why are they they being posted with such venomous glee...ok, i get the gossip and all, but such a torrent of hatefulness, is that really necessary?

She always reminds me of a younger Sandra Bullock.

I don't see that at all

R43,

Their teeth and the square jaw. The eyes are totally different, though.

nope, still don't see it..bullock seems a completely different type of entity to me...

I know Robin, have done for a long time.All ill say is because actors actually have a "private" life. The press will always say they are a nightmare to work with etc....

This is NOT the case with Robin..I only say this now because i hate to see people i care about being trashed when there is really no hard facts except idle gossip !!

I saw Robin at a book launch event and she seemed lovely.
