Wait until the checks stop coming in. He will get back to acting in a hurry. How is he going to support himself and live the life he is accustomed to?

He was perfectly cast as the villain, Juan Trippe, in Scorcese’s The Aviator.

“If I never acted again I couldn’t care less,”
That’s the general consensus.

Yep - I finally find myself in agreement with this ape.

This is merely both parties making the best of a bad situation. It is probably mostly untrue. It is obfuscation, muddying of the waters.

Alec is making parental noises to look good. NBC is getting an otherwise unemployable actor off the hook because it has only 3 or 4 shows that people actually watch and cannot stand any viewer erosion.

Good point. His acting wasn't as wooden in that one.
