ACTOR CALLS DENZEL WASHINGTON ‘CRUEL’
THE FACTS
Bronson Pinchot described his experiences working with Denzel Washington in a recent interview.
THE SPIN
Bronson Pinchot, known for his roles as Balki on the sitcom Perfect Strangers and work with Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop movies, has spoken out against one of America’s most beloved actors.
Pinchot gave a lengthy interview to the AV Club in which he discussed his experiences working with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
On working with Denzel Washington in Courage Under Fire, Pinchot said:
“Denzel Washington was behind the incredibly cowardly bullshit of “This is my character, not me.” He was really abusive to me and everybody on that movie, and his official explanation was that his character didn’t like me, but it was a dreadful experience. I spent my salary on time with my shrink just for helping me get through it… The script supervisor on that movie said it’s like watching somebody kick a puppy. He was so vile.”
He also branded Tom Cruise as “homophobic” (insert snarky comment here) and Bette Midler as a “b-tch.”
How many of you are currently thinking, “You know, I hated Perfect Strangers anyway?”

Ahh, this story is like 2 weeks old! Come on TV One, your being slow on the up take.
It might be some truth to it, who knows but I doubt it! When was the last time anyone ever heard from this dude and now when we hear from him it’s all negative and bitter talk. Bronson Pinchot is a has-been who will remain just that if he continues giving “dirty” interviews like this one. He came from virtual obscurity to get a one in a lifetime role in Beverly Hills Cop which catapulted him to the level of B list celebrity in his prime. Honestly, I don’t even recall his role in Courage Under Fire! I’ll have to watch it again but it apparently was not a big role and certainly not memorable. It’s like Rosanne in ’08 picking on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt so that she could steal a little of their shine for herself. That’s what poor, desperate Bronson seems to be doing now.
Who knows and who cares!!!!
Right Mocha, TV One is all late! And i said weeks ago when this story came out that Bronson Pinchot ain’t doin’ nothing and ain’t making no money so who cares what he thinks.
He must know everything where dollars are involved has some cruelty. Get out of the game and sell kool-aid in front of your house. This is a businss.
Why is anyone interviewing him? Does he have a new project out or something?
He’s whining because during the filming of a movie, Denzel was cruel to him…while in character?!? Please give him a Kleenex and tell him to blow his nose.
There might be some true to this story but Denzel can do no wrong to me.
Denzel, Hollywood Most Sophisticated!!!
TvOne should be ashamed to even print this.
Meonly, find a new hobby you confused and racist idiot. I don’t know why you visit this web site since you harbor so much hatred for black people, manifested through your posts on every topic that concerns an issue between a black and white person. Only you would make such a stupid and generalized statement, then post it as if it were someone else’ opinion.
Who cares!
Denzel is a no nonsense guy. Our anchestors had to kiss yalls ass he does not. If he choses to be in character when he is working then get over it.
I liked his character on Perfect Strangers and from the sound of things Bronson has some inner issues and doesn’t know how to deal with them so he starts trippin’
I don’t see it. I think Bronson has issues that has nothing to do with Denzel. If both died today, you can bet most will remember Denzel while the only Bronson anyone will know is either named Charles or Pierce! LOL!
Don’t care for the story, please TV one find something else better for us comment on!!!
Hey if that is what he percieved who am I to say he is lieing and just because America has someone dubbed “good ole guy” doesnt mean this person really is. Hollywood is fool of fakes.
This story is ridiculous. How old is he?
I think the answer for all of this lies in the phrase “known for his roles as Balki on the sitcom Perfect Strangers and work with Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop movies.” I rest my case.
