15+ Actors That Were Sacked From Movies And TV Shows Because Of Their Horrible Attitude On-Set
Honestly, most of them deserved it.
Being famous and successful definitely does not give anyone the leeway to become an insufferable person with a horrible attitude, because they can be sure that karma will eventually catch up with them. It's a common pattern for those who have already established a name for themselves to think that they can be rightfully conceited, especially towards those who are perceived as "below" them.
Celebrity or not, no one has the right to treat someone poorly simply because they believe their horrendous attitude is excusable. Being at the top of the pedestal does not grant you the power to act however you want, especially when you are causing borderline harm to the people you are working with.
Unfortunately, many actors seem to struggle with this notion, as they prefer to be entitled jerks with over-inflated egos instead. Additionally, some of their personal problems interfere with their jobs too much, causing further inconvenience to the project crew.
It's safe to say that much of their erratic behavior on set is actually caused by toxic substances, but that isn't an excuse for them to avoid facing the consequences. Now, without further ado, here are some actors who have been fired on set due to their horrible attitudes:
1. Charlie Sheen was sacked from Two and a Half Men for his turbulent behavior, drug use, and insulting comments.

Honestly, it's a good thing that these issues came to light because most of these individuals definitely had these consequences coming to them. Fortunately, some of them have tried to amend their ways (RDJ!) and eventually made their way back to stardom.
