A closer look

You know you have been typecast when even your wardrobe choices require a team of lawyers to review. When Pierce Brosnan signed on to play 007 in 1995's 'GoldenEye,' the producers were so utterly paranoid about diluting the super-spy's sophisticated brand that they slipped a bizarre clause into his contract. From 1995 to 2002, Brosnan was legally prohibited from appearing in a tuxedo in any other movie. When he starred in 'The Thomas Crown Affair,' he had to deliberately leave his bow tie undone and his collar open at a black-tie gala just to avoid being sued by the Bond producers.
