Jack Nicholson and Warren Beauty are legends....man, until I see your repetoire, I'm definately going to think you're drinking the Hater-aid.
**ok, you're actually talented and have written screenplays, and you're a frustrated artist. Your list of actors is also pretty on point. I don't even consider them actors. People in films now a days are usually just window dressing for words. But Joaquin Phoenix?! Did you NOT see Gladiator?!?!!?!?! Ugh, he's so good.
But the Johnny Depp thing, them's FIGHTING WORDS!!!!! HE's A-MAY-ZING EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kris, you better be hotter than NYC in August and make me gooyier than brie in a parisian heatwave so Diss the Almighty Son, Johnny Depp!**
;P My boss and friends think I'm crazy that I like JOhnny Depp that much, but I do....Good luck, Kris! You have the chutzpah to make it in Hollywood!

First, I'm really glad that none of you are attacking me and actually TALKING to me like civil people. A big thank you, much love and respect to you all.
Now, I admit I am a bit of a hater, but more of a jealousy issue. I mean, our so-called "actors" act like freakin' pin-up boys and supermodels. Most of them don't carry themselves well in public and revel in it, like Colin Farrell, who I totally ABHOR! (Did I forget to put him on my initial list? Because he's at the top.)
Also, I will tell you all, I have only one credit to my name on imdb and that was six years ago. Actually, I've been in several uncredited roles, and have done the stand-in thing for actors, so I am paying my dues. I don't think its out of line to say that I'm just about to break through, I do meet important folks out here and seem to do well at auditions. I like to use the Nirvana metaphor, for those familiar with Kurt Cobain and his merry band of Grunge buddies. Currently I'm in the Bleach period (their first album on an indie label), but in the next two years I'll probably get into the Nevermind era (you know, the album that has "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and made Nirvana super rich and famous).
Back to Johnny Depp and Joaquin Phoenix. About Phoenix, he actually lost me with "Gladiator" with all that whining and faux-English accent. His brother, River, was a much better and skilled actor than him any day. But he redeemed himself with "Walk the Line" because I love Johnny Cash and thought he did pretty well. I was also glad he didn't win the Oscar, though he did get a Grammy. And Depp... well, he falls into this "everybody loves him, everybody wants to be him or fuck him" category that I want. LOL! Yes, I want what he has, but I don't want to be him. (THERE, I SAID IT!) Straight guys, gay guys, straight women, gay women... they all love him! And it's sickening to me.
Look, I don't hate these people... that much. I just don't get why we invest so much in these people when really, on the surface, they are boring, vapid, and clueless people. Do you ladies really think that Matthew McConaughey can hold a conversation properly without stripping off his clothes, smoke weed and play bongos? Sure, it's probably cute to you at first, but after 10 minutes I'm sure it gets old. Celebrity is a crock of shit, and unfortunately I scorn those who revel in it.
My only worry is that WHEN, not IF, I succeed, will I be just like them? A self-absorbed hypocrite. Who knows....
