Because typecasting is a thing in Hollywood. A real serious thing, so you cannot just wake up and decide to xhange your look because if you do so, you lose bread.
@Cash Orass Why does he have to take his shirt off? No one wants Harrison Ford or Meryl Streep to take their shirts off. I can't recall ever seeing John Wayne with his shirt off.
Most people in Hollywood/ show business industry emphasize health and fitness, yet actors get TYPE cast and when don't often change up their look or style people get turned off when they do change.
He chose his Health over Wealth of Hollywood and is an absolute complete inspiration and motivation for those like myself struggling with weight issues. He definitely has his priorities in order!
And you get those fat activists trying to convince people being unhealthy should be accepted. I'm overweight but I'm doing exercise and I feel better than I have in years when I see the scale getting lighter
He’s a fine actor. I know his talent hasn’t even begun to be seen yet and I’m excited to see what he’ll do next. I have no doubt we’re going to see him on the screen again.
He's been typecast as the "fat guy." His agent needs to take a different approach to getting him roles now. He's on Good Girls this season. He looks good!
They canceled Molly and Mike cuz Melissa McCarthy lost all her weight so it sounds like once you're overweight and Hollywood stay overweight you want to work
Mike Bloodsworth damn that’s why they canceled the show?!? I thought it just ran it’s course. With the amount of emphasis they put on Mike and Molly losing weight and getting healthy I thought it was a good thing that she was losing.
There are two sides. Honestly, take Conchata Ferrell, who would have wanted a skinny version of her as Bertha? Otoh, would she still be alive if she lost weight, and if so, since she never became Bertha, wouldn’t she be just poor and unknown?
He's ready for the MCU/DCEU. He has a strong acting background, so he can hold his own along side the other actors. I don't know who, but he can play someone.
Glad to see him in better shape and a lot healthier! Loved the dude in everything from American History X , Blow and My Name Is Earl. Even the tiny role he had in Wilfred (US version) is what i remember best from the whole show.
The guy is a huge inspiration to someone like me. I'm 6'9" and weighing in at a whopping 430 lbs... I hope some day before I die I can find a way to drop the pounds like he did. I have no idea how to eat correctly, how to exercise correctly, what regimen to follow or anything like that for someone of my size. I just know he inspires me to at least want to do better. Depression has had such a tight hold on me for so long I damn near forgot what it's like to feel inspired. Ethan has my respect.
The extremes of yo-yo dieting are dangerous. Careful with any drastic changes without consulting a doctor, qualified nutritionist, and certified trainer. However, if the doctor, nutritionist, or trainer seem like bs then don't be afraid to get second opinions.
If he is your inspiration you should go follow all of his socials and watch his podcast. I’m sure he shares or will share what he is doing and maybe you can follow along with him. That way the person who is inspiring you is doing it “with you” in a sense!
Try plant based eating and watch "Forks over Knives" and "What the Health" on Netflix for inspiration. Those documentaries have changed and inspired a lot of people. Good luck!
It actually isn't all that rare if you are the go-to guy for a certain type-cast role. In his case, likely the go-to decent fat-guy. For actor like him, they have to reestablished a new image. I think the actor David Blue also falls into this category. He lose weight and the current him wouldn't have been suited for his past roles in either Ugly Betty or SG.Universe, not to mention he looks more charming having a bit of weight on him if you compare his before and after.
Congrats Ethan if you ever read this comment. I wish you all the best of luck. Hollywood can be the biggest disorder one must get over to straighten out ones life. Great to watch a gentle sole get his groove back somewhere else other than the big screen. This new chapter should be the best one yet!
As a fitness Instructor and ex body builder, I find experiences like this truly inspiring and get such a buzz watching or reading about them.. It really just takes the right reasons and willpower and you can take yourself to places you'd never imagine within yourself. A true inspiration and Champion.. 👍🏻
That's crazy, Hollywood can do WTF they want, they can give him roles, he's more healthy and happy now, I think it's great that he did him and what he wanted
I've always been happy to see Mr. suplee losing weight, and being healthy. I lost my husband due to bad health, health problems, he passed away at 46. So that is terrific to see.
Thats a first class action figure right there...so, a lot lost(weight, some career opportunities) but a lot gained (health, confidence, knowledge, experience, new career opportunities...) I am really impressed with how he managed to change himself! Bravo!
I remember in ”Titans”, he was a giant. And in ”Earl”, he was just big. BUT WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO HIM NOW? He has become a Titan himself😳 Not anything bad with it. I think it’s great that he has become so fit👍
Well done to you man! What you're doing is awesome and probably inspired someone else or even save a life that was on the edge until they saw you. My point is that you're doing more good than you'll ever know. The acting work will come again. Just get a new agent and relaunch your career as a muscled guy instead of a obese guy. Keep it up and good luck.
Man, this is nothing but inspirational and absolutely awesome to see Ethan just do a massive change to his lifestyle. I would love to see someone with his current physique and appearance be part of a movie which supports his current build, or even future build. Get him in those action movies, make him agile, let him be fast in that build. Jesus, I would kill to see him in a John Wick-type movie. I'm absolutely starstruck and amazed. Good god
It is SO freaking 🤯 that Hollywood is so freaking determined to typecast him as the fat guy!! He looks GREAT, why can’t he get any role he wants now???
I am so sorry to hear that!! Just let him know what a great kid he is and that the bullies only bully because they too feel bad about themselves .. all the best for you and your family x
You look great. Do what makes you feel good and healthy. You're young and life holds a lot for you if you are in your best shape ever and feel good. Don't mess up your body for anybody-it's all yours for the rest of your life.
considering he & Kev Smith both lost weight, i'd love to see them collaborate more every now and then. could possibly reinvent a possible acting career if he puts a few notches under his belt
Matter of fact Ethan Suplee's performance in the criminally short lived series "Chance" with Hugh Laurie was fabulous. A superb characterisation of a troubled soul.
What do you think the secret is to losing weight?
Nicki Swift consistency
A lot of peanut butter sandwiches
Cocaine and energy drinks
Calorie deficiency is the number 1. You’ll shed fat off your body
Search your partner's phone!
Why can’t Hollywood give him roles built for someone built and athletic looking like he is now? Proud of him no matter what Hollywood thinks.
LeMarais88 cause they are saving them all for the rock lol... that sucks cause this story is super uplifting and inspirational
Because typecasting is a thing in Hollywood. A real serious thing, so you cannot just wake up and decide to xhange your look because if you do so, you lose bread.
I totally agree. He deserves it after all the work he's put into all that hard work.
@Cash Orass Why does he have to take his shirt off? No one wants Harrison Ford or Meryl Streep to take their shirts off. I can't recall ever seeing John Wayne with his shirt off.
He’s currently in season 3 of Good Girls
Imagine not being able to be successful in Hollywood for being healthy.
Most people in Hollywood/ show business industry emphasize health and fitness, yet actors get TYPE cast and when don't often change up their look or style people get turned off when they do change.
Hollywood doesn't like good celebrities they want scandal and drama.
If you get type cast as the fatty that's all they seem to want .
@@garywoolnough1531 , To live an unhealthy life and die sooner.
@@erikadlloyd5586 Hollywood full of contradictions
He actually could do action movies now, he looks like a gladiator
MR SLAV issue is the skin I think, he can’t take off his shirt and things like that... limits the scenes he could be in
@@ajman1232 nothing surgery can't fix
MR SLAV or water fastening
Oh hello mr slav lol
He chose his Health over Wealth of Hollywood and is an absolute complete inspiration and motivation for those like myself struggling with weight issues. He definitely has his priorities in order!
Dont give up yet. Remember Chris Pratt was the fat guy once too.
Yea, but he really wasn't that fat and isn't exactly super skinny.
And you get those fat activists trying to convince people being unhealthy should be accepted. I'm overweight but I'm doing exercise and I feel better than I have in years when I see the scale getting lighter
Chris Pratt gained weight for Parks and Rec, that's something else.
He was literally a fit model before he started acting. Sooo.....
Chris Pratt didn't start off heavy he was cute in Everwood. He actually played a jock.
He’s a fine actor. I know his talent hasn’t even begun to be seen yet and I’m excited to see what he’ll do next. I have no doubt we’re going to see him on the screen again.
He's been typecast as the "fat guy." His agent needs to take a different approach to getting him roles now. He's on Good Girls this season. He looks good!
He needs a different agent
I’m still pissed they canceled “Earl”!
Same
@ thought it was 4 seasons. Either way they're all great.
Same here!
John Fisher naw season 4 was just as good as the rest and so would season 5, 6, 7, and 8
Me to i loved that show
Wow. His transformation is way more impressive than most hollywood careers. Way to go, Ethan! You're a freaking inspiration.
Damn, he looks amazing. Good for him!
*He was also in Boy Meets World.*
Oh right! He played a bully right? And his dad on the show was like a wrestler.
Yep.
On the show his dad was a wrestler.
"Son... You could have gone Sumo!"
stormking989 and American History X
He was Frankie and his dad was Vader from the wwf at the time
They canceled Molly and Mike cuz Melissa McCarthy lost all her weight so it sounds like once you're overweight and Hollywood stay overweight you want to work
Mike Bloodsworth damn that’s why they canceled the show?!? I thought it just ran it’s course. With the amount of emphasis they put on Mike and Molly losing weight and getting healthy I thought it was a good thing that she was losing.
I thought it was because the show was shite. You can tell when something is shit because it has a laughter track a d is American.
There are two sides. Honestly, take Conchata Ferrell, who would have wanted a skinny version of her as Bertha? Otoh, would she still be alive if she lost weight, and if so, since she never became Bertha, wouldn’t she be just poor and unknown?
I can see him playing Macho Man Randy Savage if they ever did a movie on him.
pete luis you ant going no where !
YESSSSSS!!!
Get into a slim jim
Macho Madness
Considering the guy who played his dad in Boy Meets World I could see it..
Health over Hollywood ~ great choice! He is a great example to those struggling with weight
I do believe he was Seth in "American History X" and Ashton Kutcher's dorm mate in "Butterfly affect"?
BOY MEETS WORLD
Wasn't he also the one that caused the train to get loose that Denzel & Pine had to stop?
Without a Paddle (2004)
@Tazimo Dragon Check again, he is in all the above films/TV shows.
He was also in blow, with Johnny Depp
He's ready for the MCU/DCEU. He has a strong acting background, so he can hold his own along side the other actors. I don't know who, but he can play someone.
On the DCEU, he can play Bane. On the MCU, he can play Kraven.
Glad to see him in better shape and a lot healthier! Loved the dude in everything from American History X , Blow and My Name Is Earl. Even the tiny role he had in Wilfred (US version) is what i remember best from the whole show.
Wow now that I think about it this dude has been around for a while, he was Frankie the artsy bully on boy meet world
I've always had a thing for him! I hope to see him in more shows and movies

If you can go to a gym and pay one of their personal trainers at least once you will get a good idea as to where to start. Good luck!.
Try plant based eating and watch "Forks over Knives" and "What the Health" on Netflix for inspiration. Those documentaries have changed and inspired a lot of people. Good luck!
kornfreak78 Jesus Christ your a tall ass man
Hollywood would punish him for not maintaining the image they've initially carved for the guy 😒 let the guy celebrate his health, damn it!
Dunno why they dont give him good roles! He looks badass and can definitely nail badass characters
Good for him. I'm trying to get in shape myself.
i wish you good luck on your journey to get in shape.
Me too. I’ve lost 28lbs since jan 1st but have about 80 to go.... 😭😭
Lost 28lbs ,hope you get in shape to
Xander Lowe me too and it’s not working 😂 I need will power
@leeuwin1962 Shut up dummy
Wow, I’m inspired by this dude and his journey
I know this guy in “Remember the Titians”.
Olivia Shanks yep, that's one of the best football movies! So many good lines & great cast!
He played Tuna in the movie Blow with Johnny Depp.
He is such a great actor. And thank you for not shying away for more controversial roles in his video roll there
Good for him for caring more about his health and well being than he did Hollywood. He looks great
His positive attitude might inspired others. Proud to see his progress. He never cry for losing job, but embrace it as new challenges.
He looks gooood! He obviously feels good too, you can see the health and energy in him. How absolutely great must he feel. I'm so impressed.
Losing weight cost him acting jobs? That's very rare in Hollywood.
Sarcasm?

Saw him in Good Girls and was pleasantly surprised. Nice one man.
He looks AMAZING and I know that there are movie roles for actors in HollyWood that don't require rolls.
He looks absolutely amazing and healthier 😍. Congratulations on getting healthy and looking happier.

He was the best as Randy in My Name is Earl. I still sometimes think of things he said in the show and laugh
Real ones know him from Remember the Titans
I liked him in blow
True ones know him from boy meets world
He's an inspiration. I'm over 400 now and I am feeling inspired.
What a shame that he is being penalised for such an amazing achievement.
My name is earl was my favourite show here in the UK...Ethan needs to be on alot more shows!
Its all going to work in his favor😍💖💯I promise
He looks wonderful! Keep taking care of yourself!!!
good for him!

a film role will come his way n everyone will then be "get me ethan supple" ....... possibly 🤣
He's a sharp actor. He crafted Randy and his other characters so well that people don't see him. Hollywood is a shallow pit for talented actors.
He doesn’t even look like him
The sindustry is sick, well done dude
Ethan is exactly what a true man is: being true to yourself no matter what anyone thinks.
