Actors and film crew from “W” movie arrested for barfighting

Oliver Stone’s new movie about George W. Bush suffered yet another setback this weekend when two of its stars and members of the film’s crew were arrested for fighting in a bar in Louisiana. Actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, along with an undisclosed number of film crew, were picked up at a Shreveport bar called The Stray Cat early Saturday morning. The details around the incident are still pretty sketchy. But I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that The Stray Cat is not the classiest establishment in the world.

Actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, along with members of a crew filming an Oliver Stone movie, were arrested during a bar fight Saturday morning, police said.

Shreveport police Sgt. Willie Lewis said Brolin, Wright and five others were arrested just after 2 a.m. at a club called the Stray Cat bar.

A call to deal with a rowdy patron drew interference from other patrons, Lewis said.

The Times of Shreveport reported that Brolin was booked and posted $334 cash bond to be released. Police could not say Saturday night whether he or the others had been released. The paper said they are part of the crew on an Oliver Stone film, “W,” about President George W. Bush.

A call to Brolin’s publicist was not immediately returned Saturday night.

“W” began filming in May in Shreveport. Brolin plays President Bush and Wright plays former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

People actually has the two actors’ mugshots from the arrest posted online- they both look pretty pleased with themselves and are smirking. Neither of them looks like they’ve been in a fight- although I’d bet that they both had killer hangovers to sleep off.

Here’s EW’s cover of Brolin as George W. Bush and Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush. She says it’s all about the “Republican Hair.”

  1. Jeffrey Wright as Colin Powell? Are you kidding me? What’s next? Carlos Mencia as Alberto Gonzales?

  2. lol, those mugshots are funny, particularly the smirk on Jeffrey Wright’s face! Love both of them so I’m choosing to assume they had a perfectly valid reason for drinking, fighting and getting arrested. Just a bit of, um, method acting which the locals didn’t appreciate… :D

  3. I’m sure it’s a coincidence. The fact the FBI was orbiting the area in unmarked cars for several hours ahead of time watching the bar doesn’t enter into it.

  4. Jeffery Wright is a great actor and I’ve never seen him do a bad job in any part. He’s such a good actor he’s played a lot of parts that didn’t fit his outer shell. Not really sure why you compared him to Carlos Manstealia unless you’re just going by their looks.

    $334 cash bond? Why even have a bond that’s like a joke.
