But, for the last two decades, he and his wife, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, have lived in Los Angeles, in a rambling mansion in the Hollywood Hills that he bought from his buddy and frequent collaborator Ben Affleck. Now looking to downsize, the couple has listed the property for sale for just under $6 million.
The longtime Los Angeles home of film director and actor Kevin Smith is set to hit the market Monday for a hair under $6 million, Mansion Global has learned.
Filmography. Smith has directed fifteen feature films since 1994; he was the screenwriter for all but one of them, Cop Out (2010). He has created and executive produced the TV series Clerks: The Animated Series (2000–2001), Sucks Less with Kevin Smith (2006), Comic Book Men (2012–2018) and Geeking Out (2016).
Kevin Smith will once again reside in New Jersey. The Red Bank native will still be based in Los Angeles, but Smith is returning part-time to hang in the Highlands, where he came of age during the '80s. The writer/director/actor recently purchased the Highlands' Atlantic Moviehouse.
As Smith says, “After years of doing the yo-yo, the heart attack was like, Yo!” High on a fentanyl drip, he lay in a room at Adventist Health Glendale with only a 20 percent chance of survival as the cardiologist placed a stent and performed emergency angioplasty.
Kevin Smith said in an interview that Tarantino thought he was being offered the role of Wallace, not Guy Lapointe, and that's why he turned it down, which led to Johnny Depp being cast. The first film in Kevin Smith's Canada-based trilogy.
The two met during the audition process for Mallrats in 1994, and at the time, Affleck credited Smith's directorial debut, Clerks, for inspiring him to co-write his own screenplay that he'd just sold. That script was called Good Will Hunting.
They have decided to sell the house because, as empty nesters, it now feels “too large for just the pair of us,” said Smith, who spoke with The Hollywood Reporter last year about reviving his friendship with Affleck in recent years.
Here are some photos of Smith's $11.3 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California. Originally built in 2020, Smith's mansion encompasses 10,417 square feet of living space.
Though he says he's dialing back his workload (and has stopped smoking weed), Smith most recently has been attached to a string of potential future films, including a reported Mallrats sequel titled Twilight of the Mallrats, as well as The 4:40 Movie, described last year by MovieWeb as “a new original product.”
Smith most notably shed a whopping 51 pounds in six months, after suffering a heart attack in early 2018 and being advised by his doctor that he should lose weight. In August, he revealed he had dropped from 256 pounds to 205 pounds.
Does Kevin Smith have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?
The iconic comedy duo are now a part of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Over the last 25 years, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes have left an imprint on cinematic history time and time again.
One reason offered for keeping Smith out of the Hall Of Fame is that he was never on an all-decade team. About 75% of inductees have been named to an all-decade team. The problem for a guy like Smith is that the height of his career evenly spanned two decades.
Apa also pointed towards possible reasons behind the present condition of Depp's teeth. She attributed it to Depp's passion for espresso and cigarillos and predicted that the stainy teeth hadn't been cleaned in years.
Tusk is so disturbing because Justin Long's Wallace gets drugged and painfully transformed into a "walrus" by Michael Parks' chilling serial killer Howard Howe. Thankfully, this never happened in real life.
The movie's central theme is humanity. Specifically, humanity in an animalistic context. "Is man really a walrus?" is the question Howard Howe proposes in the film, and that's the question of the film, but you should probably take walrus to mean animal.
Kevin Smith Conquers Hill He 'Never Ran Up' as a Kid After Losing About 100 Lbs. "I was lucky enough to survive," Kevin Smith wrote on Instagram, reflecting on nearly five years since he suffered a massive heart attack and went on to lose approximately 100 lbs.
Smith told his podcast-listeners he had lost 17 Lbs in just 9 days, through his potato diet. Potatoes are nutritious and beneficial vegetables due to their high fiber content, zero cholesterol, and low calories (when not deep-fried).
