Well, stupidity reigns in Hollywood folks. And here is yet another example. Famous Non-Actor Eminem (a fine musical artist… but he’s not an actor), has just been signed by Paramount Pictures to star in the film adaptation of the 50’s Western TV show “Have Gun WIll Travel”.
I’ll spare you from my whole rant on this… I’ll just say that yet again, a non-actor is getting a lead role in a motion picture instead of a real actor who has spent their whole lives studying the art and perfecting their craft as actors. Seriously, I don’t know that any other Hollywood issue makes me as sick. And what’s even worse, is that there are mindless Eminem fan drones out there who are all going to think this is great news… just because they like his music.
Look, I love U2.. but don’t you dare give Bono a lead role in a film unless it’s a documentary.
Rant over.
