Ben KingsleyBritish actor Ben Kingsley has urged film bosses to stop hiring actors with too many personal issues - because their problems hinder their big-screen performances. The You Kill Me star fears actors take on roles to distract them from their real-life problems when they should be dealing with their foibles away from film sets.

He says, "I know some actors and they're going through hell, and they think that they can use their baggage in their acting. They can't. The mistake that casting directors or producers often make is that if they cast actors who are antagonistic to each other in real life, that is going to work on screen. It won't."
