This Dude Did A David Caruso, And Expects To Be An A-Lister?? His First Foray Is A Total Piece of Shit

I believe it's because his character is a central character in the first book but is only briefly mentioned in the next 7. Each book focuses on a different Bridgerton and his story was over. And he was told he was only going to be on for one season from the start and then because of his popularity they wanted to shoehorn him into subsequent seasons.

It really wasn't his decision or fault.

This dude? This cat?

What are you? 80?

Oh, wait....

David Caruso? He wishes. Caruso was practically a household name at one point. Nobody knows who the hell this guy is.

I think I read somewhere he’s coming back for the 3rd season.

Hausfraus around the world were sponging their sweaty vajajays over Page for a year or so R3.

Meanwhile, looks like Caruso is transitioning.

He LOVES his own "jokes"...

Twerling?

My GAWD, Hugh Grant -- who's also in that Dungeons and Dragons film -- looks like HELL.

62?

And nobody knows how to pronounce his name. Reggie-Gene?

R8 He got COVID back in 2020. And a really bad case of it.

This guy is nice-looking but in a very generic way. He doesn’t stand out.

Maybe you had to see the series to get it. I don’t get it.

He's soft. Not in an effeminate way but he's not hard masculine. That's what made the frauen wet.

He was TERRIBLE in Gray Man.

He made a huge mistake, really huge.

Jonathan Bailey said in a recent interview he'll be ready for every season of Bridgerton no matter he will not be the main character again, because he knows business. He knows that every season (even if your screen time is not that much) there'll be promo to do, and your face will be everywhere (which means more projects).

Page seems to think he was just too big to play a character role, surprise, he was not. And now he basically do perfume commercials.

And i'm pretty sure Shonda was not happy about this (Shonda has a lot of different problems so keep her happy could mean a lot of work)

R9 - SAME! I’m Canadian and grew up with French on cereal boxes and compulsory French classes ‘til I was sixteen, so I just assumed, because of the accent, it was like “Rezjay Zjawn Page” or whatever. Is it not? I never watched that trashy Bridgerton show and have no idea!

Put the person's NAME in your thread title, OP. Get that straight, why don't you?

r14 Yes, that's how it's pronounced. The point that poster was making is that his name might be too confusing for the American audiences. Then again, if Saoirse Ronan has been able to overcome that obstacle... And she doesn't pronounce her own name properly either, by the way.

R8 I am thoroughly traumatized by that photo of Hugh Grant! He aged like a baked apple!

Is he Haitian? Or Creole like Beyawnce?

he'd look great with a dick in his mouth.

[QUOTE] Then again, if Saoirse Ronan has been able to overcome that obstacle

Who?

Regé-Jean Page has that overly “pressed” look like any of the gay hustlers that graced Christopher St. in the 90’s. He’s my type- I’ve seen guys identical to him at Pieces, the Hangar and Sneakers. But he needs to work with a trainer on that skinny Muppet ass.

omfg, R18 - a baked apple! So accurate! 😆

Hugh Grant's face skin has resembled a ball sack for 15 years at least.

I don't know, but Page's move out of Bridgerton was so unusual that I think there was some behind the scene drama that led to it. Yes, it could be some larger-than -life ego on his side. Maybe his agent wasn't up to the task and overplayed his hand when negotiating a better salary for the client. Or something went down behind the scenes of Bridgerton that nobody likes to talk about. If the main star leaves the show after one season, it poses a huge risk for the entire show. So letting him go seems very neglective - unless something went down.

What I don't get: Aren't there some contractual obligations for actors to stay on a show for multiple seasons? I thought there is a standard clause that holds actors for years to come should the show get renewed. Sounds odd that Bridgerton didn't have such clause for him while everybody else stayed put. It's hard to believe that everybody's contract was to be (re-) negotiated after the first season. Not an entertainment lawyer here. Maybe someone with legal background can explain more?

David Caruso was at one time a great example of an ungrateful actor too big for his britches. However, he ended up starring in a TV show that became the most watched show globally. Quite frankly, he chose his own way and became a huge success, and I applaud him for the balls it took. I personally pretty much hate my job but it's now basically too late for me to find anything else. I so very well get him. He apparently has retired from acting and owns a clothing store and is involved in the art business. Sounds like he's doing what he wants.

People are gleefully waiting for this Page guy to crash and burn but really, he's trying to maximize his career prospects. Can you really blame him for it? I haven't seen his acting and if it's not good enough he can certainly only blame himself but he's already booked at least two high profile MOVIE gigs after Bridgerton which tells there's demand for him. He's already in his mid 30s so no wonder he took the chance when he got it. A quick look at his career tells he's been acting since he was 14 so he's not exactly a rookie anymore. I hope his D&D movie will be a success, at least the trailer looked great.

The Brisgerton scenario was actually described by R1, R25. It was never intended as a long-haul ensemble show. They wanted to use him more, as he was popular, but he wasn't contracted to be available, though it looks like he has agreed to pop back in later series, so the whole idea behind OP's post is actually complete rubbish.

R25, The Gray Man is a Netflix property as well so I assume him leaving Bridgerton was done amicably. It was a huge win for Netflix to get the Russo brothers so one can assume Page, the hottest thing on Netflix, was handed to the brothers on a gold platter.

Also, Bridgerton is total crap.

Pings

He didn’t “leave” Bridgerton. The show is basically an anthology. Every season focuses on a new Bridgerton. This season it was Johnny. Next season will be the younger brother and Lady Whistledown. There was no reason to keep him because he’s not a character the show is following. His wife barely appeared this last season. It had nothing to do with lawyers or contracts. He finished his engagement and was done with the show. It’s not difficult to understand. There were no nefarious backstage negotiations.

When it was clear the character was becoming “popular”, showrunners started warning people that he wouldn’t be appearing in the same capacity in the next season because his character’s story was essentially over and there was no room to include him because the show was going to focus entirely on the eldest brother’s search for a wife. If anything he would be reduced to brief cameos.

The things you people choose to focus on. It’s all very Qanon Trump. Fucking weirdos. And btw, there’s no comparison to Caruso, Jean Page has already had ten times the career Caruso had.

There isn't a lot of demand for him r26. He has nothing lined up after D&D.

R25 is a fever fantasy clit fingering completely detached from fact or reality.

Why does this "cat's" career path have OP so worked up?

[Quote]Put the person's NAME in your thread title, OP. Get that straight, why don't you?

Chill, dude. We know the cat he's talkin bout.

[quote] His First Foray Is A Total Piece of Shit

You must have a limited vocabulary, OP.

I think he let the Bridgerton attention go to his head.

Rezshysheen!

When is that fussy dyke Shonda going to come out?

I’d watch him eat ice cream again!

R10, covid doesn't age your skin like smoking 5 packs a day. And if he had a bad case, uh...might be because he smokes 5 packs a day.

Real name is 'Regererai Page'
