What happened to the brains of actors?
They had brains?

I love the middle ages. Everywhere, the actors were always segregated away from decent normal folks. The were usually housed with cattle somewhere just out of town.

There are two types of actors. The select few who are decent, knowledgeable human beings first, actors second.

And then there's the rotting mass of the others who equate wealth with goodness and excellence.

After all, what are they?
People with no character, reading lines written by others, pretending to be someone they're not, and surrounded by an ego that manages to conceal, most of the time, the utter rot.

Other than that, they're OK.

That or standing on soap boxes blathering about anything and everything while being looked upon as the village idiots. Or locked up and forgotten about in an insane asylum. The shallow, narcissistic line readers and drama queens that make up Hollywood would find themselves in similar situations if it weren't for Edison, Disney, Tesla, Marconi, Philo Farnsworth, Vladimir Zworkin, Jack Warner and countless other dead White guys whose creativity, business expertise and sheer genius made the "Entertainment industrial complex" what it is today. Egomaniacs like the Divine (GAG!) Ms. M. demand to be taken seriously? And to think when I was a kid I was made fun of for believing pro wrestling was real!
