I know for years Day was considered the ugly sister of the the first trilogy, so I understand why he didn't become the new A-list star. Even if Day was more successful and critically acclaimed upon release, still it's a tough nut to crack becoming the new A-list star is a tough nut to crack. |
There's certainly just luck/bad luck involved. |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

It's not just Pilato, but most of the main actors from Romero's zombie trilogy who didn't have great luck with their movie/TV acting careers. Some of them actually chose to not pursue it much further (Duane Jones, for example, who concentrated more on teaching.) The ones who have had more success are Ken Foree and Sherman Howard. They have been in quite a number of movies and TV shows. |
