* OldShame: The ''Super Mario Bros.'' movie. He described it as the biggest disappoint of his career and the worst job he had ever done. He was so unhappy during production that he would [[INeedAFreakingDrink drink whiskey]] between takes, and went as far as to say that if he could change his past, he wouldn't have taken the job to begin with.
