Norman Reedus' lost his role in 'Tomorrowland' because he wouldn't cut his hair
"I was thinking, I'll never act again. It's over," Reedus told Details magazine.
But that was before he scored the role of Daryl Dixon on AMC's "The Walking Dead."
For example, he found out that he would be passed over for a role in "Tomorrowland" playing George Clooney's father if he didn't cut his hair.
He said: "I was like, 'Don't they know I'm on a TV show?'

"It went down to the last minute, and everyone knew I couldn't cut my hair," Reedus, 46, recounted. "Then, I think the director, Brad Bird, threw a fit and was like, 'If he's not dedicated to this role and he can't cut his hair, then it's not going to work.' I'm on a f--kin' TV show! I can't just shave my head!"
In the end, he may have been better off. Although "Tomorrowland" grossed $209 million worldwide, The Hollywood Reporter reports that it cost $330 million to produce and market. So, it seems to have lost as much as $140 million.
It also didn't impress critics. Its Rotton Tomatoes score is 50% and it's a 60% on Metacritic.
