UNFORGIVABLE CURSES: The Mel Gibson situation raises this question -- what, exactly, do you have to do to end your Hollywood career? What kind of scandal is so bad that it'll actually finish you off?
Because accidentally killing someone isn't enough (or is it?), and usually, you can get away with rape and other sex-related offenses unless you're not generally seen as sexual, in which case your career might never fully recover. You can be Hollywood's Angel of Death or direct a film in which people are killed on your set, and your career can still thrive. And drug convictions only seem to be a plus.
Is the real answer "as long as someone thinks they can make money off of you, you're still in the game", or are there things one can still do that are bad enough to get kicked off the lot forever?
