Jeremy Piven has been getting a ton of backlash for dropping out of the Broadway play Speed the Plow. His co-stars and producers fo the show don't believe that he's really suffering from mercury poisoning, which was his reasoning for bailing on the show. A reporter from Fox News caught up with him after the Golden Globes on Sunday night and asked him about it.
I was so sick for most of the run of the show. Some days I would sleep right until the time I had to go to the theater. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was exhausted. Finally, I went to a doctor at Greenwich Hospital in Connecticut just so it wouldn't turn into a circus. He said, 'you've got to stop working.' My heart rate was 47. My mercury level was off the charts. I hadn't had a real break in 20 years of acting.
I think the producers and co-stars are just pissed because the name of their show sucks. Speed the Plow? Really?
