> “I could have made a lot more money,” jokes the 73-year-old Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star, who says he earned the nickname “Dr. No” for turning down parts.
> But choosing family over work has always been a “no-brainer” for the Oscar-nominated Birdman actor. “That’s only going to happen one time — he’s only going to be a kid [for a bit],” he says.
> “You look back, and you go, ‘Zero regret. Zero, zero,’ ” continues Keaton. “That’s not to say if I’ll see a movie that I didn’t do, and I go, ‘Oh, boy. That turned out to be a good movie.’ But the choice was always the correct choice. I always wanted to be a dad.”
From his movies I thought he wanted to be a mom or get a clone to do his dad duties.
He would have been a great Legolas
A real Mr. Mom, if you will.
The role of a lifetime.
It was Rose from Titanic.
Well he had to do some movies to put his son through NYU so he could find himself. Don’t go chasin waterfalls guys
I always thought of him as Mr Mom
Rewatched beetle juice last night. He’s a national treasure.

That’s Mr Douglas to you
It’s not like he’s not getting the roles now, He’s having a terrific second act.
