Another U.S. star flips off America
James Cromwell, Jack Bauer's father in '24,' says he 'can't handle' living here any longer
You've seen him in some endearing roles – such as the paternal figure to the shepherding pig "Babe."
You've seen him in the role of the "heavy," like playing the criminal father of "24" hero Jack Bauer.
But you may not know the real James Cromwell – the 6-foot-7-inch, 67-year-old Oscar-nominated American actor who is also featured in the upcoming "Spider-Man 3."
Here he is speaking to the London Telegraph: "I can't handle living in the United States of America when I know the last two elections were rigged, and that we were denied our right to vote, where we live in a country where 32 percent of the people vote and even those people's votes don't count, and the people who should really have a stake, kids, don't have any say at all – people of color, very little to say, unions, practically nothing any more … we're losing our jobs. …"
No, that's no Alec Baldwin. It's James Cromwell, another U.S. star who chooses to flip off America on foreign soil.
"His diatribe is liberal boilerplate, but it's mesmerizing nonetheless, thanks to years of formal actor-training, his charisma and sincerity," explains reporter Susan Dominus.
So why would a man who views the world – and his country – this way agree to play in the hit series "24," which is the focus of much criticism from others who see evil when they look at America?
"I am on the horns of a dilemma – I can walk away if I think it's really bad," Cromwell explains. "It's hard to explain. It's a job."
Given his comments, he is perfectly cast, true to character for his role in "24".
"Typical Liberals,bad mouth th U.S. on foreign soil then come back for the good old American Dollar."
Exactly, what a hypocrite...BTW, if he is so upset about 32% of the eligeble American voters actually voting then he should be over-joyed that over 80% of the Iraqis voted in their last election...Of course, how do I know he would not see that as positive.
Can post a link that shows this information? It would be nice to show everyone here that we have another "Johnny Depp" here.
Bryce Howard is in the next film. She would actually make a better Mary Jane Watson than Kirsten Dunst and is a natural redhead to boot, although the pictures I've of her as Gwen Stacy are really good.
He won't be missed.
Group think is evidently highly valued in hollow-head land.
Do these people really think we can take them seriously anymore?
Stop the planet...I want to get off!!!
And I flipped off 24 last night. It's getting a bit far fetched anyway. They should have stuck to the terrorist plot.
I wish all the left wing scum that inhabit this country would migrate to Canada or Europe. I hope more follow his lead.
The answer is easy. Get the F@@@ out scumbag! I'll personally buy your sorry communist ass a palne ticket.
Love,
Jarhead
You're pulling my leg, right? (Yes, 1971-1979.)
Oh well, I guess some get their 15 minutes on the way out the door...Buh Bye, James...Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!

Not pulling your leg. My TV watching (never high during college 'cuz I didn't have time!) dropped off sharply within a few years after graduation, and subsequently went effectively to zero.
