I thought ...I wish I could find a verifying source. I thought Preminger said something like, "The best actors are the stupidest people". And there is that classic dialogue in the original version of "The Producers":<br />Leo Bloom:<br />Actors are not animals! They're human beings!<br />Max Bialystock:<br />They are? Have you ever eaten with one?<br /><br />And, by the way, the expression is "toe the line", not "tow the line".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986899.post-43441889910082297122020-12-05T07:51:00.584-08:002020-12-05T07:51:00.584-08:00Well done.

Let take Nicolas Cage the man made 250 million dollars in his carrer and is now broke, but he is not the only one, he is one of a very very long list of celebrities that do to their own stupidity and incompetence have been place in the poor house. Now once there its everyone else fault, but thier. Now you could argue that its the money managers fault it's his job to manage the money because the actor is not willing or able to do it or is it the Agents fault for not getting him more work if he had more work he wouldn't of had time to spend all his money or is it the Publicist fault maybe if she did more PR with Cage and his agent he could have got more work and made more money. <br /><br />So you see, most of these people are not intelligent. They don't even have the intelligent or maturity to admit when it their fault for not being smart enough to manage the people who manage their life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11331499315832745716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986899.post-31219387855817669832012-12-10T14:46:07.374-08:002012-12-10T14:46:07.374-08:00I agree with the above anonymous commenter.

I could go on and on with proof that you are in fact wrong for a good percentage of actors and shouldn't smack a label upon every single one of them and how emotionally devouring the job is but the fact is that it is worthless since you will be stubborn and believe your way no matter what. However, if you were truly smart you'd do a bit more research personally and be more open before publishing your own thoughts and presenting them as facts. Just saying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986899.post-87108599179850344982012-02-23T00:31:54.641-08:002012-02-23T00:31:54.641-08:00I dunno dude, I could just as easily criticize you...I dunno dude, I could just as easily criticize your theory on how only dumb actors are any good as being a short sighted and reductionist claim. Then go on to talk about how foolish you are to obsess over the fact that a bunch of people have political opinions (you could literally attack any celebrity, not just actors, this way). Your ideas aren't well measured, they just seem bitter. It's like the people that hate on Bono so much, but at least he's interested in what's going on in the world. You don't need to get mad because you're worried someone 'thinks they're better than you'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986899.post-1156527318282689612006-08-25T10:35:00.000-07:002006-08-25T10:35:00.000-07:00We need something like the old SPY magazine that k...We need something like the old SPY magazine that kicks these celebrities in the ass, tells the truth that they and their PR machine try to cover up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986899.post-1156159180736057392006-08-21T04:19:00.000-07:002006-08-21T04:19:00.000-07:00Amen!

Just because some actor can memorize lines & emote on camera or a stage; he thinks(?) we want to hear his opinions on global warming or anything else that comes into his pea brain. And these political meatheads all say the same things on every subject. However, I must confess, I like 'em stupid & in tight jeans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
