How does this dude keep getting work?


Modine can barely act at the best of times, but generally he's just brutal on screen. Who the hell in their right mind casts him?

I do not know, it seems like in full metal jacket he was reading off a cue card at a rate of two words per minute

He's not getting THAT much work. I think he's like 3rd lead on direct to video thrillers. But give his agent credit. Getting this no halent hack that much work is truly an accomplishment.

Bridgey, you don't need to be a sanitation specialist to recognize crap. You don't need to be in the acting profession to recognize a hack.

As Danny Bonaduce once stated: "acting is a simple job. you stand on a line and just read what someone has written for you."

It's not rocket science. Don't try to pretend it is.

Are you fnckin' kidding me? So I have to be a working actor to know what a good actor is? STFU.

Faulkner4: Are you quoting Danny Bonadouchebag as an authority on acting? Seriously?

I know this is old but I once saw an actor who worked with James Cagney and he said Cagney told him acting is no big deal just step up to the plate and say your lines.
