Has anyone figured out why Christine Taylor...


...has to be in Stiller's movies/projects for the past few years now? The fact that she's NOT getting offered any other roles in film OR television speaks volumes in and of itself. She did a few interesting things, but there wasn't a single role she did that couldn't have been done by any other actress her age. She had her 15 minutes, it's time to move on.

She has two rugrats now....so it's probably harder for her to accept a major role, thus making her work for months at a time. If her more famous hubby wants to cast her in his own films, then he will obviously work around her schedule and he can arrange the filming schedule to suit her. It's also easier for her to show up for 2-3 days and film her brief segment and be done, whereas if she is a leading role in a flick, she'll be filming for a long time. I think she wants to be a full-time mom and it's just easier for her to tag along with Ben's projects. Good point, she did have her 15 minutes...

She's actualy done alot of projects that don't have to do with Ben Stiller and most of them are on television, so I don't it's really fair for you to say that. I think she's very talented.

I think she got casted as the pretty girl next door, and hasn't been able to leave that niche. She might be very talented (I really couldn't say whether she is or she's not) but most of the roles that I've seen her in are pretty much the same.

You could say the same thing about Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Burton's wife.
Other than the Harry Potter flicks, I can't remember her being in any big films that is not directed by Tim Burton.

I am biased, I adore CT's looks, she played Marcia Brady and she should play Ms. Marvel
As for her acting, it is just a job just like porn--- pretending for the camera
High school plays convinced me it is all ego-- main character/star/best scene...
if the paparazzi isn't taking their pic or no one is interested in their latest project their stock goes down... A selected few stay out of the limelight and raise their children, CT is one of them besides Ben Stiller is a Sagittarius like me so again I am biased--- he could take a poop and I would find him funny, plus they are a very attractive couple... BOING!

Fight Club, and Twelfth Night come to mind.

HBC was an acclaimed actress before she even met Tim Burton. I'd be willing to bet that her role choices have nothing to do with lack of studio interest

You saw Dingleberries?
