There's always a place for aging actors


Now, read this carefully. I am not trolling on the well-known actors in this direct-to-video suspense movie.

Everybody gets old sooner or later. Val Kilmer and William Sadler were successful A list actors in their time back in the late 80s and early 90s. Dora Baird was/is an aspiring B-list actress who did a fabulous Playboy pictorial years ago. When their best acting years were past them, Val Kilmer and William Sadler continue to find acting work as supporting actors in these direct video movies. Some even end up in Sy Fy channel movies. Nothing wrong with that. A few decades ago, even those options were not available to aging actors or B listers still trying to find a stable acting career. It pays the bills, plus allows actors to remain in their chosen profession. So in a sense, don't feel bad for them. Rejoice that they're doing what they want to keep doing.

Right one. These old actors still get to work and pick up a paycheck.
