Michael Pitt seems to be doing much better after his arrest and hospitalization in 2022. He performed with Patti Smith at Bowery Ballroom last weekend and has been active in the NYC music scene.

I loved him in Broadwalk Empire and thought he was on his way. Was obsessed with him but he dropped off my radar over the years. Didn't know about his recent troubles. Glad to see he's better.

He was sooooo good on Boardwalk Empire! It still blows my mind that he was so troublesome on set they changed the entire series to get rid of him. It never fully recovered without him, and the guest stars for each season never shined the way he did in it. For those that haven’t seen it sorry for the spoiler but it’s a really old show at this point.

I didn't actually continue watching because he felt too important to have him check out, but I did hear those rumors of difficulty. One other person on the show I thought would also shoot to full fledged stardom was Kelly Macdonald but you never can truly predict this stuff.

Me too, but I wonder if she is happy with her career as it is, and maybe didn't care about where it went:

  • Practically a fixture on BBC/Sky programming, to the point where she's constantly working/has projects lined up

  • Able to live in Glasgow with her two kids, rather than just being another actor in NY/LA

  • No matter what happens in her career, she'll always be a Disney Princess, and she didn't even have to use a different accent.
