Who needs Master B?

I believe SG probably took one look at the script and ejaculated a stream of abuse at his agent.

smiley - wow Cool entry Alfredo.

Just goes to show the travesty of justice though. The Guttster has only been in one film in 10 years...

Mister Matty

I think I remember reading an article once where it was pointed out that Steve Guttenberg and Tom Hanks's careers were essentially parallel for a long time - both started out as young actors who specialised in comedy despite the talent to do more serious stuff - before the "sliding doors" moment of "Philadelphia" happened which took Hanks' career in a completely different (and longer-lasting) direction.

I think Guttenberg simply fell out of fashion after the 1980s (when the sort of films which made him famous were in vogue) and never managed to make a serious comeback either in a film similar to what he'd done before or in a completely unexpected role (in the way, for example, John Travolta re-started his career with "Pulp Fiction"). He might still appear in something as an unexpected piece of casting by a director who's keen to put him in the spotlight again but I wouldn't count on it.

Name another actor/actress that has made four films that have been sequeled? (And I don't mean sequels of sequels). I think that speaks volumes for him ...

Guttenberg ... Police Academy, Short Circuit, Cocoon, Three Men and a Baby.
