"'I don't get Guy Pearce. I'm never going to get Guy Pearce. I'm never going to employ Guy Pearce.'"Despite their acclaimed collaboration on Memento, Guy Pearce hasn't starred in any Christopher Nolan projects since — and he thinks one man is to blame.

He was briefly considered for Liam Neeson's part in 'Batman Begins' before it was decided he wasn't allowed to take on the role.

Written and directed by Nolan, Memento stars Pearce as Leonard, a man struggling with short-term memory loss while trying to track down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The film also starred Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano.
