I look in my dictionary and it slaps me on the wrist and says crass: adj. Crude and undiscriminating; coarse [Latin *crassus*, dense.] Why anybody wants to go around looking for people who act crass is beyond me. Look, if you want crassness, why not go for the real thing: not just *acting* crass, but really living-eating-breathing-stinking crass. What's the point in dating actors (or electing them president) if you can get the real thing. If Crassness is what you want, anyway, might as well go for all the crassness you can get; not just someone who's faking it so that if you wake them up in the middle of the night (say, 10am) they forget to be crass. Get someone whose crassness is integral to their ipseity! "The lich...they are different than you and I, you know."
