I don't understand why anyone would care what you think about actors.
It's not like it's what you do for a living.

Shooting and reshooting scenes, having to say the same thing five different
ways so the director can get what he wants to use in post, having to act
serious when you feel more like being goofy, or vice versa, wearing the
same damn outfit 14 hours a day for 16 days in a row, having to pretend to
be someone else while standing shin-deep in ice water, or in a cold
bathtub, or out in a technician-simulated rain or wind storm for those same
14 hours... not to mention having to put up with primadonna directors and
producers, jackass set mechanics and technicians, caterers who can't get it
through their heads that you're allergic to dairy products... yeah. I'll
*still* take punching a clock over that.

On this, we agree, they do get paid nicely for what they do. But still,
look at what they have to do. Keep in mind also, that while your show is in
production, you're working most of the time and have no time left over to
*enjoy* all that cash. I once saw an interview with some mid-range TV actor
and the guy with the mic asked how he liked the new house he'd bought
recently; he asked the dude "is it nice? I haven't seen it since before I
bought it. I hope it's nice."

Yeah, you get a job out there and let me know how long you work in
Hollywood before those lackeys show up mmkay? Nobody's waiting on anybody
out there. Like I said, they do get paid, but they're not exactly standing
around with their thumbs up their asses.

On movie sets, yes, on TV sets, no. While set-ups take a long time
(*primarily* due to lighting/cinematography) on TV sets, the TV shows
actually film about 6 to 8 pages of script per day while a movie may
film just a *fragment* of one page in one day. Doesn't mean that
there aren't "hurry up and wait" periods on the sets of TV shows, but
the vast majority of time that an actor spends off-camera but on the
set is taken up with blocking rehearsals, line rehearsals
(speed-thrus, memorizing lines by oneself, etc.), interviews with
magazines, photo shoots for those magazines and/or for show publicity,
dashing off to do an interview at a local radio or TV station (KTLA,
the local CW affiliate) or one of the talk shows, etc.
The workload on TV shows is far heavier than you (and a lot of people)
give it credit. WRT television, the viewership is largely naiive and
anti-elitist to the point of arrogance.

PG-13 films are limited to one use of the word "fuck" (or "fucking")
Any more than that and it automatically gets an R-rating. If DD got
the line, it just means that the director thought that that line
needed to be kept more than the line in which GA used it. Doesn't
mean that they shouldn't release a double-dip unrated version of FTF
including the deleted GA line 'round about the time that XF2 comes
out.

Actually, DD never said 'fuck', I don't think. He said 'shit' twice,
though: once in the phrase 'the shitstorm of all time', and one random
'oh shit' while he's falling down. They could have taken out that second
one easily, to give Gillian's fans something.

No, I was referring to his TWENTY YEARS as an actor with the Royal
Shakespeare Company, including his performance in Shakespeare's "A
Midsummer Night's Dream" on Broadway.
You know, there are people with distinguished acting careers in live
theater.
In fact, my first exposure to Jerry Orbach was when I saw him on
Broadway in the musical comedy "Promises Promises" in 1969, for which he
won a Tony Award. I never saw him on the TV show "Law & Order," because
I don't watch that show.

IMHO thats a good thing, let it sit there earning interest until the show
winds up.

I thought Stewart gave a credible performance as a scheming villain. He
was married to Tiberius' daughter in law, Livilla.
If memory serves, in I, Claudius, Sejanus attempted to seize power from
his co-consul, Tiberius, but the cagey Tiberius turned the tables on
him: Sejanus was invited to the Senate where he expected to be
acclaimed ruler of Rome. Instead he was branded a traitor and executed
forthwith.

There was a scene on Boston Legal where he snaps open his cell phone and it
makes the *communicator* sound effect and he brags about it. There have
been a few moments like that.

Well that balances out since at least half of Congress doesn't know what the
fuck they're talking about either.

movie.

Direct quotes can be manipulated and otherwise taken out of context.
