Think Twice Before You Do It

Having been a working actor for almost 20 years, I often get asked advice from parents about how their children can ‘break’ into the industry.

Busting their bubbles isn’t fun but I feel it’s necessary. And Peter Coyote, in this recent article, sums up the very reason why with eloquence and a forthright honesty that you rarely see from Hollywood these days.

Well done, Mr. Coyote.

Media Bias?

Throw stones, disagree. It’s all cool with me but does anyone find it rather interesting that Obama heads to Iraq and he’s got an entire entourage from all the major news stations following him as well as near-hourly reports about what he’s doing. “Obama eats breakfast with troops.” “Obama walks across street in downtown.” “Obama does this.” “Obama does that.”

Yet John McCain has already been over there at least a half a dozen times and you got maybe one report about it.

Makes ya think, that’s for sure.
