Adam Rodriguez Chose Male Stripping Over A Role In The Dark Knight Rises

Adam is best known for his role as Detective Eric Delko in the hit television show CSI: Miami. He had a small role lined up in The Dark Knight Rises, but scheduling conflicts with Steven Soderbergh‘s Magic Mike resulted on him passing on the part.

Magic Mike is about a veteran male stripper (Channing Tatum) taking a new stripper (Alex Pettyfer) under his wing and showing him the ropes. Matthew McConaughey will be the owner of the club, Xquisite. Adam Rodriguez will be one of the male strippers alongside White Collar's Matt Bomer, and True Blood's Joe Manganiello.

In addition to Magic Mike, there’s talk that you’re doing Dark Knight. Is that true?

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to work on Dark Knight because it directly conflicted with the shooting schedule for Magic Mike. There was no way around it. I’m sure it would have been an incredible experience, but I know it worked out for the best.

Fans are pretty excited you’re starring in Magic Mike. What drew you to the role?

The first thing that got my attention was the fact that Steven Soderbergh was directing. Then I read the script and loved the way the premise of a “male stripper movie” was delivered with style. It had edge without taking itself too seriously and humor without making an ass of itself. The roles of the dancers were sprinkled throughout the script with lots of room for improvisation, and I knew it would be something fun to be a part of. I was right. Best time I’ve ever had on a job. Learned a lot and laughed a lot. - celebuzz.com





The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th 2012 and stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Garly Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate.

He's not a nutjob. Soderburgh is one of the best in the business and has hardly made any bad films.

Why are you guys calling him a nutjob or crazy??

Its all about the money. If he was getting more money in the other role, why the hell would he drop it?

it all comes down to which one pays more & if you're gonna be in a lead role(magic mike) or a background character that has 2 minutes of screen time(the dark knight rises).

naah, it was most likely a bigger role than The Dark Knight and if that is the case that means more money and more time to show what he can do as an actor. On top of, do you know how many women will go to see a damn male stripper film with Matthew McConaughey in??? yeah he will get more money out of this film and more acclaim. Think of Mark Walberg and Boogie Night. Yeah, he made the right choice, cuz he about to get some major ass after this film, if it is good. I won't know cuz I won't be going to see it.

still his role in a Steven Soderbergh movie i bet is more important to compare to TDKR were most likely he just a background cop role or a guy who gets killed by Bane.

I am a Batman fan, but who cares if he chose to give up a small role for a better role in another film. Some of you act like his career rides on whether he took a role in TDKR or not. I don't know whether to laugh or face palm. Perhaps both.

Ditch the male stripper movie. Ditching a part in a nolan directed Batman film is a dumb move.

Could someone please explain why not taking a small role in a Batman movie is a dumb move? Seriously, some of you DO need to get out the basement. The acting world does not revolve around Batman movies.

Thats what I'm saying they said, "A Small Roll In The Dark Knight"! If your an actor do you want a little cash for a small role, or more cash & a bigger role for your movie resume??? He's been on tv long enough let the man live people!

Seriously, passing on a small role in TDKR is hardly idiotic if you're getting a bigger role in another movie by a renowned director.
