Adrien Brody recalls ‘embarrassing’ moment he realised film role had been cut at premiere

Having believed he was the lead role, Brody appeared in just five minutes of the three-hour-long film.

Adrien Brody has reflected on the “public embarrassment” he faced after having his role cut from one of the most acclaimed films of the 1990s.

While Brody remained in the film, with just a few lines of dialogue surviving, Mickey Rourke, Bill Pullman and Lukas Haas were cut completely.
