: : I'm not saying he did it for the money, but the scenes he was in certainly had an air of 'action' about them.
: : I like Lee, I like his delivery, I like his mannerisms, I like the way he says 'Holy Shit' in both 'Rats and 'Enemy', but movie stars and actors are two totally different things.
: : Someone who takes on the role whole heartedly, learns an accent, changes appearance, etc (De Niro for one) is an actor.
: : Someone who relies on their name to draw the crowds, (you know who you are), is a 'star'. And I use the term in it's loosest possible sense.
: : There are too many 'stars', not enough actors!!!
: : Lee, Show us you're an actor, not a star.
