I've been thinking about Fifty Shades of Grey today. Even if you're not a fan of the soft-BDSM trilogy and its film adaptations, you might recall that the extremely British actor Charlie Hunnam was initially cast as the titular Christian Grey, then famously dropped out of the project. The issue was Hunnam's schedule, not Grey's vague sadism. But when I got a press release this morning that announced that Hunnam had just been cast as Ed Gein — the inspiration behind both Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I was reminded anew that an actor's life is very strange. One day you're an American billionaire who's into bondage, the next day you're an American grave robber and cannibal.
