Can't tell if you're making a joke or are ignorant of the meaning of civil in this instance.

Reply to comment by TatteredCarcosa in TIL for the Untouchables Brian De Palma casted Bob Hoskins in case De Niro could not appear. De Palma mailed Hoskins a check for his contracted fee of $200,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more films he didn't want him to be in. by KongoOtto
That's neat. I'll have to hunt it down.

No Ballers was an HBO show where he played an ex football player with a pain killer addition who becomes a financial manager with the bald guy from Hot Tub Time Machine.

It's also called 'type casting' , where an actor is cast in a role because they've made a name for themselves in a similar role before. The Rock I feel is typecast a lot. One of the things where he wasn't was Ballers.

This is how I approach both. I called Ancient Apocalypse "Hancock's Batshit Crazy" because while entertaining and fun brain fodder, it's crap. But it was cool seeing local geography when he was in the scablands.
