John Cusack reportedly hated his cult 80s comedy so much that he walked out of the screening and later told the film’s director Steve Holland that Better Off Dead was "the worst thing I have ever seen" and he would "never trust you as a director again."

As much as I hate his politics, I've always loved the '80s/early '90s movies with Cusack. Better off Dead is one of my favorites.

Cusack, much like other actors, seems to always play himself in the movies.

A manic, self-conflicted, angst-ridden dork who talks a mile a minute. Guaranteed.

...

That’s better than overacting. I think Jack Nicholson said it’s best to let the costume do the acting.

To me, an actor is one who can make the viewer believe any part he/she plays. All of the others are just personalities who play themselves over and over.

Really good actors do not always get the accolades until after they expire.
