Linda Cardellini : Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

(Almost) Everyone from "Freaks and Geeks" are like huge stars now... Seth Rogan and James Franco especially ...Martin Star has cameos and small rolls in Apatow films..and a lot of the people from Apatow's other show "Undeclared" are in current Apatow films like Jason Segal....but for some reason Apatow has NEVER had Linda in anything else of his and Linda was the lead role in F & G ... She's a good actress...better than most of the women in her style... anyone know what happened there? haha

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

There were rumors going on that ever since she broke up with Jason Segel almost five years ago (hence why Jason wrote and star in his own vechile Forgetting Sarah Marshall based on the break-up), Judd and Linda broke ties with each other. Other than that, I don't know what the hell is going on.

What Apatow really needs a strong, funny, intelligent, and attractive female character and Linda should be that character, not his wife Leslie Mann.

We'll never know what happened up until that point.

Playing devils advocate here. Look at the other actresses in the series. About hald of them are really good im only talking in the show now. About half are kind of rubbish. Linda is kind of in the middle not really sticking out as a great actress. Im only talking on the show though, havent seen her in anything else that i remember.

well she was in Protect Insurance Companies PSA on funnyordie

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Freaks and Geeks was a terrific show with a terrific cast and terrific writing. But make no mistake, Linda Cardellini, playing Lindsay Weir, was not only the heart of the show, but she was the stand out performer in the too short run of the series.

The middle? You have no idea of what you're writing about. And I'm being polite even referring to your post as writing.

Her dramatic performance in "Return" is as good or better than anything Franco has done and he's the only other break out actor (mostly thanks to Judd) who's really shown talent in serious drama and not mostly or all in comedies to come out of the still sorely missed show.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

I have to agree with you. I think she was the best one on the show, and I LOVE Freaks and Geeks. She was so natural and sincere, nothing seemed forced. I always thought it was weird that she hasn't had a "big" role since. I would love to see her in more films.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

It's a shame that Linda hasn't had much of success unlike her "freak" friends except for Busy Philipps. I think Linda and Busy should form a comedy stable simlar to Apatow's.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

She was great in F&E though. You could say that about maybe Busy Phillips but Linda was carrying the bulk on the older kids side of things.

Sam Levine and John Francis Daley surely also got shafted as well, but that's probably b/c they held the other half of the show which perhaps wasn't considered as being as important as Linda's side.

Totally agree with that, he needs to stop putting his wife in every single one of his movies.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Leslie Mann should've been done a long time ago with Big Daddy.

To be fair, John Francis Daley nor Martin Starr have gone big like the others.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

The movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is based on Jason Segel's and Linda 1c84 's relationship. I'm guessing she cheated on him, they broke up and Apatow is still pissed at her.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Then how come they reunited at the F&G reunion last year?

If Vince McMahon can make amends with Bret Hart, why can't Apatow do the same for Cardellini?

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

I read in Rolling Stone that the naked breakup bit was one of the real things based off of Linda and Jason's relationship

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

It's not based ENTIRELY on their breakup, but on mutliple relationships Jason's had.

For example the "getting dumped while naked" bit really did happen to Jason, but not with Linda, so don't accuse her of cheating just yet.

And to the person who complained that Apatow needs to do more with funny women, I refer you to "Bridesmaids".

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Bridesmaids was okay, but I just wish he would cast Busy Philipps and Linda as the bridesmaids instead of that other blonde and Rose Byrne.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Um...John Francis Daley was on Bones, one of the biggest TV shows, as a regular, for many years and is now writing and directing the reboot of National Lampoon's Vacation. You call that not big?

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

good for him! I stand corrected.

I don't watch bones.

Didn't know he did alot of the work for the Vacation reboot. Thanks for the heads up!

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

honestly, freaks and geeks is still apatow's best work - he was much better before all the dumbed down, gross-out elements which have kinda become his hallmark. and linda was so good in that show

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

I haven't seen Freaks and Geeks..IN A LONG Time..but good stuff..too bad Linda wasn't included in Knocked UP

Giving You My All..because all I want is 5b4 You baby

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Nah.


You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore...

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

I just know her as Velma, never looked at a girl's chest as much before or since.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Velma, ok, but, I must refer you to "Dead Man on Campus". This is the first movie I ever saw her in and didn't realize she was Velma until I looked her up here one day.
Also, as previously mentioned "Grandma's Boy".

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

She was drop dead goregous in Dead Man on Campus ;-)

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Maybe she just wasn't interested in being in those patchy, puerile comedies Judd Apatow makes.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

one thing I have noticed is that all the other actors/actresses from freaks and geeks that made it huge in "Pot-dom" film making are either jewish or a portion thereof. She is not. Anyone think that might have something to do with it?

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Linda was on Grandma's Boy so I still don't see why Judd wouldn't cast her since his movies are pot-based as well.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Judd has a penchant for blondes and his wife fits the bill perfectly. She's in many of his films as the leading lady and it can be argued that he plays the nepostism/cronyism card to a fault. It's not unique to him though so I'm going to refrain from complaining about it because Hollywood since its inception is all about cronyism, nepotism, and being an insider.

As for Linda, hasn't she been in a series of cancelled TV dramas and comedies over the past 10 years? I personally think she can carry her own without relying on the "Geekpack" to carry her career. I think she could be the next Dana 16d0 Delaney, or even can replace Mariska Hargitay if she were to leave L&O SVU.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

James Franco didn't get big from those "Pot-dorn" movies, he get big when he did Spiderman and had films after that, he did Pinneapple Express but that was after he was a big name.

Same with Segal, he did How I Met Your Mother which is obviously his biggest work, he did Forgetting Sarah Marshall but what was really it.

Rogen is the only one to get big on "Pot-dorn" movies.

Linda did do movies after this but not as big as the other three and it is a shame, she is very talented and deserves better. Not sure if the break-up with Segal was the reason she never got casted in Judd's films afterwards but sucks if it is.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

Paul Feig loved Linda. Maybe Judd wasn't as keen on her? I also get the impression that the F&G alumni that hung around together shared a sort of stoner lifestyle together. She's a bit older than them so maybe it wasn't her thing?




"At a certain age, you have to choose between your face and your ass."

Re: She´s a Feig girl not an Apatow-girl

Well, Apatow only seemed to support the male cast. Is not like he supported Busy Phillips either or another female. He only supports his own wife. He seems to be kind of Mysoginistic. His movies are always about how bitchy women are so... no. Good thing Cardellini hasn´t worked with him. That "Grandmas boy" thing she did... is beneath her talent.

Now, she´s obviously a Feig girl and it´s starting to show.... she worked with Kristen Wiig on "Welcome to me" and she was almost considered for a role on Ghostbusters 3..... so he must be introducing her to more people.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

She seems to be reasonable active since F&G. The rest of them IMO aren't "huge" stars.

Re: Did she piss off Judd Apatow or something?

"Everyone", as in three...? :D

I didn't actually get around to watching "Freaks & Geeks" until last year; I never really caught it while it was on (despite being very much in the target group), but had been meaning to for years.

I can honestly say that there were four people from the main/recurring cast that I would be able to name and pick out of a line-up before I watched it:

James Franco, Jason Segel, Seth Rogen and Linda Cardellini.

Obviously the three first names fit your description, but that's it. Very far from everyone, even far from "almost" everyone, are "huge stars". I knew Linda Cardellini both by name and face because I remember noticing her from movi 238 es around 2000, so I've known who she was for these last 15 years.

The rest I couldn't name with a gun to my head, even if I've seen some of the faces here and there.

Busy Philips? I know her name and face now, but purely due to watching F&G last year.

Daley, Levine, Starr, I'm reading the names off the Full Cast & Crew, and I'm a long way down the list before I recognize faces/names from very small parts like Lizzy Caplan and Ben Foster.

IMDb-boards would be less confusing if people would mark their signa 111c tures clearly.
