To my knowledge, there is no blacklist. But there is a mindset, even among liberal producers, that says 'He may be difficult, so let's avoid him.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I first came to Hollywood, the blacklist was just starting, and they were having hearings in Washington. What most people don't know is the judge of these hearings himself was later convicted of misappropriation. 'Spartacus' helped break the blacklist, because Spartacus was a real character.
There's always some kind of blacklist throughout history. But the difference is, in America they usually let you live.
I can't tell you how good it is to go from 'Homeland' to be lucky enough to find 'The Blacklist' at the right time. It literally came at the very end of pilot season when I thought there was nothing left.
I'm on the very blackest part of the black list.
Not a single person I named hadn't already been named at least a half-dozen times and wasn't already on he blacklist.
We Negro writers, just by being black, have been on the blacklist all our lives. Censorship for us begins at the color line.
I'm so happy with 'The Blacklist.' Give me more people to shoot and throw them off buildings.
The 'Pan' script made it to the Black List in 2013.
Many of my friends were blacklisted. America should be ashamed of it forever.
'The Blacklist' was really right place, right time. I read the script and met with Jon Bokenkamp, John Eisendrath, John Fox and John Davis, and we just hit it off. They understood that I was not so much trying to adapt to television, but adapt a cinematic style to the things that we were gonna do.
