Robert Lindsay: 'Monster' Weinstein blacklisted me

Actor Robert Lindsay has said he lost out on a role in Oscar-winning 1998 film Shakespeare in Love because Harvey Weinstein removed him after a previous confrontation.

Lindsay said he confronted the producer when he was working on the 1990 film Strike it Rich, but he later "paid a price" when he lost a role in Shakespeare in Love.

Speaking about the allegations of sexual assault, Lindsay told 5 Live's Sarah Brett and Nihal Arthanayake Weinstein was a "monster".

Radio Times review

Dolly Wells and Emily Mortimer write as well as star in this satire about lifelong friends who are both actors. In the first series, out-of-work Doll became Em's assistant with messy results. It was deliciously excruciating because it was so close to the bone: they really are childhood pals who chose the same career path, and on paper Mortimer is the more successful.

Series two finds them best mates again and endeavoring to pen a script together, which of course is what the real Mortimer and Wells have done. There's a brilliantly awkward scene in which they pitch their efforts to a nonplussed Harvey Weinstein.
