What's the point?
I can only imagine the ridicule which would rain down on someone forwarding a YouTube clip of Thompson to people outside the DU message boards.
I agree for the most part. But, as hard as it is to believe (don't even try to understand), a sizable group of people in this country can't distinguish between a fantasy character an actor plays on the screen and the real life person.
Actors who have made careers playing heavies have many times been very disliked by some movie goers that believe they are really nasty people.
Some actors now get treated as if they are bright, articulate people simply because they follow a script that portrays a character that is so. When in reality, these same actors can barely wipe their own rear ends without a personal coach providing step by step instructions. Charlie Sheen comes to mind. I wonder if he can function without a personal attendant. Talk about dumb.
