Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
star
Rob Schneider
is the first actor to publicly announce he will never work with
Mel Gibson
due to the anti-Semitic remarks he made when he was arrested last Friday.
Schneider
took out an ad in Hollywood trade paper
Variety
slamming the star for his behavior in "An Open Letter to the Hollywood Community."
The ad appeared today and said, "I,
Rob Schneider
, a 1/2 Jew, pledge from this day forth to never work with
Mel Gibson
, actor-director-producer and anti-Semite."
Schneider
then went on to say even if he were offered the lead role in
Passion of the Christ 2
or a "juicy voice-over role in his new flick
Apocalypto
and spoke ancient Mayan" he would still turn them down.
He also repeatedly praised Hollywood talent manager Bernie Brillstein for publicly saying he would refuse to work with
Gibson
because "I just don't like bigots."
The actor continued by saying he had recently directed a film called
Big Stan
in which there was a part for a Nazi gangleader "which apparently
Mel
would be perfect for."
Schneider
said he would still not cast
Gibson
in that role and ended the letter by saying, "Of course that would only be after I talked with my financial backers. Some of whom share Mr.
Gibson
's hankering for a good bottle of tequila. Because, after all...I don't get to call all the shots."
