Landing a role in a movie or TV series doesn't necessarily guarantee an actor a permanent job. In fact, they could be fired and replaced at any given time before, during, or even after production. Sometimes directors realize halfway through that the star isn't right for the part, and sometimes actors get themselves fired for too much drama on—and off—set. See why some of your favorite celebrities got booted from the project they were working on.

I’m currently working at Dotdash Meredith as the Celeb & Entertainment E-Commerce Lead contributing affiliate content for People.com and InStyle.com. I’m basically like your personal shopper, from writing about that cozy loungewear set you didn’t know you needed to keeping tabs on the best sales and deals on the internet. I’m also a pro at finding affordable dupes for celebrity looks and I love to dig into the data to strategize content opportunities.
