As well as being made to sh...
Berenger bagged an Oscar nomination – his first and to date only – for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Sergeant Barnes in Platoon. But he almost didn’t get the role, as director Oliver Stone initially had Mickey Rourke down as his first choice for Barnes. However, Rourke turned down the role – he made Angel Heart that year instead – wh...
Phillip Noyce’s 1993 film Sliver was a notorious flop. Critics universally panned the film – on Metacritic, the film has a measly average score of 38/100.

It was kind of difficult but then if you think...
Speaking to Larry King in 2018, Berenger revealed the person he’d most like to trade places with for 24 hours. King asked him “who would you trade places with for a day?”, to which Berenger replied “Jack Nicholson.” “Just to see what a day in his life was like,” he continued. “It might be scary, but yeah.” Berenger isn’t the only actor who holds Sh...
