Rob McElhenney Calls Film Experience 'Most Humiliating' After Being Cut From Feature Debut

Rob McElhenney has opened up about the 'humiliating' experience of being cut from his first feature film, 1997's The Devil's Own, during a recent appearance on the show Hot Ones. The actor, known for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, described this experience as the lowest point of his career, overshadowing even his recent cut from Deadpool & Wolverine. At age 18, he filmed scenes alongside stars like Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt, only to discover he had been completely removed from the final edit without prior notice. McElhenney recounted how he and his family attended the premiere expecting to see his work, only to find out he wasn't in the film at all. He expressed that this incident made him feel like a 'D-player' in a world of 'A-players.' Despite this setback, McElhenney eventually found success in the industry, later starring in and co-creating multiple successful projects.
