This guy is proof that


Any ugly white man can make it in Hollywood. He isn't attractive and he isn't talented yet still seems to be getting somewhat steady work. No one takes him seriously as an actor so at least there's that.

Read his trivia.

He's hooked up.

He's proof that is not how you act, but who you know.

I thought that maybe he gave good head or was a Rent Boy but he might just be well connected......it is not the most talented people who make it in Hollywood......run down a list of famous actors & actresses and you can see that most of them already knew or were related to someone in the business.

then how can you explain how we can't get rid of and he crazily keeps getting bigger, Zac Ephron?

reply

well, just look at Alec Baldwin, as soon as he got overweight and middle aged old looking at around 1997, he started getting much better work and more work. they started to take him more serious right after he stopped looking like a sexy beefcake.

But if 'no one takes him seriously as an actor', then how is GETTING these key roles? Why did Scorsese use him, for example?

reply

This dude was handed a lifestyle. You mean to tell me that he is in the top comedians that are not in Hollywood?? Comedians that have to work shows each weekend to pay the bills. I bet you could give him a new name and have him try to make it on his own as a comedian and he would not have a popular following. Thank god the age of the condescending nerd is almost over. He was never the underdog because he is too pedantic. He does not fill the shoes of an underdog in life.
