I HATE retarded theatrical jackasses who claim that in order for an actor to do a good job, he had to at some point be poor and starving and wait tables...and then for like three to five years star in HS-level productions of Greek classics off-off-broadway.
This hate rant is fueled by 8 MILE, a pretty good movie with pretty good actors about really good material. Only the script writer mailed it in. Anyway, I've read plenty of shitty peoples' opinions that Em was playing himself (not in the sense that he was played ;-) ) and that he can't really act or we don't know yet, yada, yada, yada.
The ironic thing about this example is that Em, a previously starving artist, is actually playing a starving artist. Sounds like he should have the credibility required. But NOOOOOOO, these shitstacks think that acting is harder to do than a lunar landing. Get over yourself. We all act every day. We front like the dress looks good, we front like the boss had a good idea. Some of the dumbest rich people I know are actors.
They refuse to accept the fact that looks are the reason for success. I'm not one of these jealous types who thinks hot folks must be stupid. God ain't fair. The stupid/ugly and hot/smart are league, Mira what.
Here's what I think. Em can do whatever the hell he feels like doing, and do it well, cuz he's driven...and acting of all things is not beyond his scope.
Before I get a response about good actors, yeah I know -- ok, I won't miss a Ed Norton, Kevin Spacey, or Al Pacino movie either. Just because at the top ranks, it's a very good paying job doesn't mean it's hard to do, or that a rapper can't do it well.
Call it what it was. A good turn on familiar material. This crap about best actor awards going to the Elephant Man, Rain Man, Forrest Gump, I AM SAM...jesus, you gotta play a tard to show range?
