William H. Macy is a veteran actor in Hollywood, and he knows talent when he sees it. He also knows lazy and bad behavior when he sees it, too. That's led to Macy calling out Lindsay Lohan and other lazy actors for their lack of punctuality.
William H. Macy was at a Los Angeles press junket for his new film Everyone's Hero, when he started talking to reporters about Lohan. People carried some of Macy's quotes. "You can't show up late. It's very, very disrespectful."
This isn't the first time someone has stepped up to challenge Lindsay Lohan about her laziness and late arrival to set. Back at the end of July, James G. Robinson, the Morgan Creek producer of Georgia Rule, sent Lindsay Lohan a letter, which said "You have acted like a spoiled child and in so doing have alienated many of your co-workers and endangered the quality of this picture." The strongly worded letter came after Lindsay Lohan suffered a case of heat stroke, which Robinson didn't believe.
Life Style Extra grabbed a quote from William H. Macy, where he explained "You can't show up late. I think what an actor has to realize is that when you show up an hour late, 150 people have been scrambling to cover for you. There is not an apology big enough in the world to have to make 150 people scramble. It's nothing but disrespect."

Macy was hilarious in "Fargo." He is one of my favorites and I'm glad he laid the smack-down to these spoiled rotten post-teeny bopper movie stars such as Lohan.
The thing about Macy in Fargo was he perfectly captured a BAD liar. In the scene where he was shuffling papers and telling Marge Gunderson "I'm cooperating here!" you could SEE how she could tell he was lying. I have no idea about his politics, but he's probably a lib; even so, you can't deny that kind of skillful acting.
I wonder if he would say the same of Clinton since he showed up an hour or two late to everything.
I agree that he was an excellent "bad liar". However, Marge did not clue into his bad lies all that well. She was obviously dumbfounded that he fled the interview.
I didn't see it that way. I thought the interesting thing about the movie was that they didn't hammer home every plot point like they would in a Jerry Bruckheimer movie. Her reaction to him just before he left indicated she was listening and observing. She didn't hop up and say "AH HA!" She added her observations to her data file, so to speak, and continued her investigation.
I can agree with this.
He is a Lib, but I've never seen him in any overtly political role. I've seen him in ER, as Dr. Morganstern (before ER went totallly left), in "The Cooler", with his former ER co-star, Maria Bello, and in "Air Force One", as one of Harrison Ford's Majors, the one who came up with the idea of parachuting off of the plane (if they could lower to 10,000 feet and slow to 200 knots).
Yeah, he's been around. I hated Air Force One--I thought it was just overly brutal and depressing. I love action movies but the ones like that, where characters are introduced just so they can be killed off and we have motivation to want to kill the villains, don't do it for me. I loved Jerry Goldsmith's score, which was written to replace one by Randy Newman in something like a couple weeks.
I have a friend that works for FX and he says Hollywood is all business.
People are sick and tired of Hollywood celebrities acting foolish in public and also getting into trouble with the law. This is why many people are concerned about actor Denis Leary, who has a "live life on the edge" attitude and he's going to get into trouble sooner or later.
I enjoyed that movie also!
