I remember the Prince Family was rallying behind trying to get him a star back in mid Nineties so I don't quite think he got it.

I think P is too much of a control freak to fully turn himself over to a director. He'd never fully trust them, always rely on his own instincts, cheese it up & end up giving the same performance over & over again... UTCM pretty much killed his chance @ a legit acting career IMO.
