man screw that. there are countless stories of this guy being a class-act when meeting him on the street, as well as people who worked with him. This being said before they would be guilted into saying good things about someone who passed.

A friend of mine met him but never did the naming him for money. He said for a such a huge guy with such a deep voice he was rediculously soft-spoken and friendly. Sure maybe someone had trouble with him on a set, but maybe he was doing some method acting and it took him getting into a weird mind-set to portray such an invalid. Maybe he didnt like the work, or maybe he was just in a bad time in his life.

All i know is ive read and heard good things about this guy, so im gonna defend his ass. It could have even been that the guy just had a problem with duncan. Who knows.

I would never base anything on the opinion of one person. ITs the same reason i find imdb ratings more valid than rotten tomatoes. Imdb is the collective opinion of tens of thousands where as rotten tomatoes base their ratings on double digits worth of critics. Less people means less perspective.

Weird, Kevin Pollak is actually known as a huge *beep*

Dear Warden, You were right. Salvation lies within.

Wolfy....The giving money if you recognized him on the street thing stopped pretty much after he got billing in Armageddon and it was 5 dollars not 10, but that is immaterial, if this is a true story about him doing what he did to Kevin Pollack, I feel bad for him. It shows how the "system" can corrupt even the kindest and humble among us. I had heard that story before Andie and Opie got it and had met Michael a few times in his life (he actually bodyguarded for a friend of mine) when he was not a superstar and though I hate to believe it could happen, I am not doubting that this incident took place. For one I don't think Kevin Pollak would need to make himself feel better by creating a story if it weren't true.

Thousands die every day for no reason at all, where's your bleeding heart for them?

So @Rusty-d-shackleford you are just perpetuating a rumor started by "some actor" on the D-List at best as if his word is bond? Seems like you're an *beep* as well. smh
