Remember back in 2001 when Vince Vaughn was arrested in North Carolina following a bar brawl in New Hanover county? Poor Steve Buscemi was even stabbed several times in the process. All in the service of “Domestic Disturbance.”
Well now it turns out Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright have been taken to the slammer in Shreveport, Louisiana after refusing to leave a bar after closing time. Refusing to leave a bar after closing time? THAT’s what gets you yanked in the Bayou? If they were going to go, they should’ve gone out swinging, I say.
The actors were in the middle of production on Oliver Stone’s “W” and will probably be out of the big house in no time and back to work. Brolin’s mug shot isn’t as stellar as Mr. Vaughn’s was seven years back, but he’s sporting a bald head that probably fit him right in at the Stray Cat bar (which sounds like countless dives I’ve frequented in my time…oh the South).
I’m sorry, but every time I hear about an actor getting charged with “interfering with police” arrest, I get kind of irritated. Doesn’t it always turn out this way? Has a cop ever yielded to a movie star before? Let alone those of the middle (but admittedly rising) stature of Brolin and Wright.
