In an interview on Armchair Expert, the actor admits the following: “I’ve never said it before and it’s a little embarrassing to admit, but I really think it hurt my career in a real way.”because I was poorly received in something so public. I’ve been in poorly received things that just don’t see the light of day, and for the most part, no one knows about it, but this was very public, and I don’t read ads or reviews or film press or anything, so I wasn’t aware of how poorly received it was.”
