welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
actors the disc their own shows before
we begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’ll be looking
at various actors and actresses who have
claimed that they hated working on a
particular television show this hatred
can stem from a variety of factors
including personal issues or the quality
of the show among what we’re gonna do
about this number 10 Joe Jonas Jonas
that’s not it’s a common narrative from
the world of showbiz a group of young
men or brothers in this case form a
boyband and attract massive amounts of
attention from preteens then they grow
up veer towards a more mature look and
proceed to dismiss elements of their
past though Disney undeniably launched
his career it would seem that Joe Jonas
wasn’t thrilled with the whole
experience when talking about his stint
on the short-lived show Jonas he told
vulture the writing on it was terrible
it just ended up being some weird
slapstick humor that only a ten-year-old
would laugh at to be fair it was a
Disney Channel property not HBO how’s it
gone you know I don’t get it
number nine chase Crawford and Penn
Badgley Gossip Girl and all eat all the
cheese just be happy young actors just
love to hate on the shows that made them
famous don’t they such was the case with
chase Crawford and Penn Badgley two
actors who respectively served as Nate
Archibald and Dan Humphrey on the teen
drama Gossip Girl Crawford found his
involvement on the show to be
embarrassing saying my dignity is
somewhere on set leading it to season 3
it was all out the window
similarly Badgley went after the show
while promoting his film greetings from
Tim Buckley saying to be proud of
something is a really nice feeling and
it’s a new feeling
talk about a not-so-subtle jab number
eight shannen doherty charmed let’s just
say we come from a very interesting
family tree shannen doherty earned quite
the reputation in Hollywood for being
difficult to work with both as a result
of her hard partying lifestyle and her
general onset
attitude she’s known for being a bit of
a diva and based on an interview she
gave movie line magazine in 2001 it
would seem that she considered herself
above the quality of charmed
she told the magazine there were a
couple of moments when I gave the most
brutally honest performance I could have
given as an actor and when I looked at
those moments I knew they weren’t being
given their proper due because they were
on charmed ouch number 7 Mandy Patinkin
Criminal Minds that’s certainly a series
of murders we don’t know enough to have
to call them serial as it turns out the
subject matter of Criminal Minds is
upsetting enough to turn the stomach’s
of even its own actors Patinkin who
played Jason Gideon told New York
magazine that Criminal Minds was very
destructive to his soul and personality
and that starring in the show was the
biggest public mistake he ever made due
to his difficulties in filming the show
he chose to depart before filming of the
third season began have a great thing
too he would later go on to star as Saul
Berenson in homeland which earned him
Golden Globe Emmy and Screen Actors
Guild nominations for the role so safe
to say that was a good move they’d been
looking to retire in style number six
Robert read The Brady Bunch oh it’s
awesome it seems as if life on the Brady
Bunch set wasn’t as happy and innocent
as the show would have you believe
Robert Reed was a classically trained
actor who was educated at various
esteemed establishments and he began his
career by performing Shakespeare on
stage the Brady Bunch
is certainly no Shakespeare and Reed was
allegedly quite difficult on the set due
to his hatred of the show’s childish
material I’m not joking it’s not absurd
he later said that the show was just as
inconsequential as can be and that he
doesn’t want it on his tombstone we’re
sure that he didn’t mind the money
though thank you very much goodbye
number five George Reeves Adventures of
Superman you’d think that playing
Superman would be considered the role of
a lifetime
it was not so for George Reeves however
who reportedly felt that the iconic role
ruined his career Reeves had aspirations
to become a serious actor so he inserted
the role of Superman beneath his dignity
he also hated the various requirements
that it entailed such as dieting
and wearing the Superman costume which
he referred to as a monkey suit
he became typecast as Superman and found
difficulty landing the serious roles to
which he aspired in 1959 he allegedly
took his own life with many attributing
his death to his failed career goals no
matter who I am
there goes number 4 Katherine Heigl
Grey’s Anatomy just remember that while
you’re sitting on 200 grand of student
loans I’m out of debt over the years
Katherine Heigl has garnered a
reputation for being rather difficult to
work with
she is seemingly burned bridges with
Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow after calling
knocked-up sexist and her comments have
also cost her relationships with members
of the Grey’s Anatomy crew when asked
why she withdrew her name from Emmy
consideration she said I did not feel I
was given the material this season to
warrant an Emmy nomination this
understandably upset the writers and the
producers of the show and creator Shonda
Rhimes has said that there were no
Heigl’s on the set of her new show
scandal this rep has clearly hurt her
career yeah on some on some level of
song and on some level I was not
surprised
number three Billy Ray Cyrus and a
Montana okay this one is more sad than
anything once upon a time the Cyrus
family seemed happy and normal and then
the cute innocent and wildly popular
series Hannah Montana came along and
changed the course of Cyrus family
history
[Music]
during an interview with GQ magazine in
2011
billy-ray opened up about his problems
with the show saying the damn show
destroyed my family and that he would
erase it all in a second if he could
sure the show brought his daughter fame
and fortune at what cost
it just goes to show that money isn’t
everything blah via satellite that
dreams coming true
I’m happy for you baby number 2 Chevy
Chase community every how you feeling
about the Dan Harmon stuff the what Dan
Harmon who’s that Chevy Chase’s feud
with communities creator Dan Harmon has
been well-documented chase was never shy
about his hatred towards the show
calling it an effing mediocre sitcom
that wasn’t funny of course this isn’t
the first time that Chase has caused
some controversy he had a reputation in
the business for being difficult and as
Dan Harmon found out the rumors were
true
granted Harmon did give an fu speech
aimed a chase in front of his wife and
daughter so it’s not like he’s an
innocent bystander but still those are
some serious strong words on chases part
he did not like the hours and he did not
he kept saying he didn’t like the
writing number one Angus T Jones two and
a half men keep yapping and you won’t be
there sure seem to be a lot of drama
behind the cameras of two and a Half Men
when Charlie Sheen wasn’t verbally
attacking its creator Chuck Lorre than
Angus T Jones who portrays Jake Harper
was urging everyone not to watch the
filthy show in a video for a Christian
group Jones slammed the show saying I’m
on two and a Half Men and I don’t want
to be on it please stop watching it and
filling your head with filth you know
people say it’s just entertainment the
fact that it’s entertainment it’s do
some research on the effects of
television and your brain he also said
the show made him feel like a hypocrite
as according to him he was being paid to
make fun of the topics he cares deeply
about and I was a paid hypocrite because
I wasn’t okay with it but I was still
doing it do you agree with our picks
