Jeremy Piven
Actor Jeremy Piven was cast in the Broadway show Speed-the-Plow in 2008 alongside Raul Esparza, Elisabeth Moss and several others. Piven left the show early after claiming that he was ill from mercury poisoning and was no longer physically able to perform. Since his departure, several of his cast-mates have ridiculed him for leaving. Esparza made the comment, "it was the first time I really enjoyed playing this show (referring to Piven's departure)."TMZ: Piven's Castmates Peeved in Public (December 22, 2008) The show's writer, David Mamet, previously stated that "it was his understanding that Piven is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer."Variety: Piven speeds away from 'Plow' play (December 17, 2008)Broadway
