Actors into enemies: Actors… It is absolutely no surprise to anyone (or at least it shouldn’t be) that actors, especially in Hollywood (but actors in general), have an overbearing, perhaps “deplorable excess of personality” as was once said. These personalities, as one could very well imagine, don’t always jive, even if it may seem so in a finished production. Hollywood has been full of rivalry and petty reasons for dislike of one actor over another.

Some are too pompous, arrogant, and want too much to be treated like royalty, and some are so familiar with cast and crew that they may as well have been passed around as a piece of meat, so well known were they… in more than one way, to so many.
That being said, these excesses of personality have come to a head more than once, on many sets, all through the ages of Hollywood, usually surprising people with their performances, in spite of their hatred, or disgust, or disdain one for the other. So the time has come to look at, perhaps, some surprising workplace discrepancies that turned actors into enemies.
10. Groundhog Day
Number two for good ol’ Bill Murray. Seems he just can’t get on well with actors on set. Another unprofessional actor this time? Only if Harold Ramis counts as unprofessional. This dynamic comedy duo worked together on Meatballs, Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, and lastly, Groundhog Day. Right from the get-go of their last film together, Murray was in a mood. Whatever personal issues he had in his personl life were not being left at the door when going to work. This led to fights between the two, and eventually to Murray ignoring Ramis altogether. Not just ignoring him for the rest of the shoot, but for twenty one years after. Murray refused to talk about his old friend, hating the thought that Ramis had made his career… which he did. Ramis, however, had recurring dreams that the two would become friends once again. People will never know exactly what was said, but on Ramis’ deathbed, Murray at last went to his former friend, and shortly after his death, sent out positive words for the renowned actor/filmmaker. A pity he waited so long.
