Every fucking time. I swear to god.
I take a day off from perusing(?) the WWWboard and I miss the name amongst names. Probably a good thing as that 'bigredknob' seemed to give him a hard time. Now theres an argument I can really would of liked to get my teeth into.
Although, Lee did say something about not doing big action flicks for the money.
What the hell was 'Enemy of the State'? Saturday morning Matinee?
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.
Cheers then
