Paul Dano Replaced Kel O’Neill in ‘There Will Be Blood’
Actor Kel O’Neill was hired to play the role of Eli the pastor in the movie “There Will Be Blood”. But after only two weeks, (yeah!) O’Neill realized he wasn’t comfortable with Daniel Day-Lewis’ crazy antics on set. Years later, O’Neill was interviewed by Vulture and denied those claims. O’Neill explained that at the time, he wasn’t able to go the extra mile for the director. After the actor got fired, the studio hired Paul Dano to play Eli. The film opened to dazzling reviews, mostly praising Dano’s impressive performance.
