James McAvoy makes ‘bonkers’ residuals reveal as he names lone movie ‘consistently’ making him money - Page Six

Once again, Scottish actor James McAvoy has put himself into the Star Trek conversation, with another pitch to play a younger version of Sir Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard. James McAvoy has had a varied career garnering awards and accolades in dramas like The Last King of Scotland, as well as more mainstream outings like playing a young Charles Xavier in several prequels to the X-Men films featuring Sir Patrick Stewart in the same role. McAvoy is an avowed Star Trek fan, and when Star Trek: Picard was in development, he volunteered his services on more than one occasion to play a young Jean-Luc Picard, noting he was uniquely qualified.

James McAvoy is opening up about a traumatic moment early on in his acting career. The “X-Men” actor was asked to rank experiences on set during a stop by Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” earlier this week. During the bit, McAvoy was asked about his stint on “Band of Brothers.” “Alright so ― I’m not gonna tell you who it was, [but] on my first day on the set there was a ton of actors. It was one of those scenes with everybody in it, and we’re all at a bar,” he shared, before explaining why tensions could’ve been high on set. James McAvoy was ready to spill the tea.

And all these guys were in it for like, nine months, 10 months, and they get one line in one episode, and one line 10 episodes later,” he said. “And they were all pissed. I come in for one episode, and I’ve got, like an arc and scenes ― I’ve got tons of lines.”McAvoy looked at the photo of “Band of Brothers” castmates on the screen and confirmed that one of the actors who bullied him was indeed in the picture. “One of the guys in that picture decided to bully me. On my first day as a professional actor out of acting school,” he said as the audience oohed and aahed.
