Hilary Swank is addressing former CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves.
The 49-year-old actress discussing the exec dissing her as “too half-hour” to star in one of his network dramas while talking to Rob Lowe on his Literally! podcast.

Hilary had been auditioning for a role on an hour-long CBS pilot, and when it was between her and one other actress, Les dismissed her and chose to cast the other actress.
“He said, yeah, ‘You’re just too half-hour.’ Not even funny. He didn’t even say I was funny or comedic. I was too half hour,” she said.
Rob described it as being labelled “too multi-camera,” or a sitcom actress.
But had this not happened, she wouldn’t have gone on to star in her Academy Award-winning Boys Don’t Cry.
“I love that you even remember who it was,” Hilary said.
“At that time the most powerful man in the business [was Moonves]. And only because you didn’t get that pilot or that show –,” Rob said.
“I was able to do Boys Don’t Cry,” Hilary added.
“The reason I bring this up is because I think it’s super important for everybody in their lives who feel like maybe something didn’t go their way, particularly young actors. It really is the concrete evidence of when a door closes or doesn’t even open, another one does,” Rob said.
“It’s so true and it’s so hard to trust that, right? Because like you said, there’s no ‘for sure.’ But I think if you just remain open, you keep that energy open. Feel it, don’t go, oh, something better is happening — I felt it. I was like, this really sucks. And then I felt it, and then I moved on,” Hilary added.

Since 2019, a production company by the name of Kingdom Story has set about establishing itself as something of a player in the crowded field of faith-based entertainment, having dipped its toe into the world of film by adapting a handful of true-life narratives and soon-to-be-released original content, all of which have seen unexpectedly wide release thanks mainly to a partnership with media giant Lionsgate. Covering a range of topics from Christian music biopics to the life of former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, “Ordinary Angels” easily finds a spot on the list, with a premise inspired by actual events that appear perfect for the Kingdom Story family tree but without the tendency to drift into the realm of heavy-handed messages one might be expecting.
