I remember Sylvester Stallone saying in an interview maybe about 5 years ago something like... you may not be the best actor or even the best looking person, but there are some people (I guess he's referring to himself) that are embraced by moviegoers.
Do you agree and if so how would you describe what he was trying to say?
I think being likable is not being a douchebag. Tom Hanks seems to be a great guy in real life, never heard a bad story about him. Mark Harmon pulled 2 teenagers out of a burning car in 1996.
Everyone liked John Candy.
How do you explain Mark Wahlberg then? He's like in every movies!

Good point, he was a violent, racist thug and not a very good actor, he only became famous because his older brother Donnie was in a popular boy band and later an actor.
Yeah, criminals and right-wingers I will not support if I have to go
out of my way. The one thing is Schwarzenegger and the Terminator
franchise ... I really like that, but I will not spend money on it, I wait
until it is on TV or streaming for free. Same with Steve Martin and
Kelsey Grammer. I have a problem with people who play in really
disgusting movies, like the movie with Casey Affleck where he beats
a Jessica Alba basically to death, this kind of stuff is toxic and to give
money to it or anyone associated with it is immoral.
because the more I find out about the movie industry and actors the
less i can stand it, I don't see many movies any more. I'd rather watch
documentaries, or positive stuff or even real people on You-Tube talking
about things they know. And I like very old movies, the pre-Code
Hollywood movies are great.
Arnold may be a Republican but he isn't a right-winger, he's pretty moderate and his views are more in line with the Democrats, I don't think he voted for Dubya or Trump.
Arnold was incompetent as Trump, maybe slightly less. He vetoed a single-payer health care, and screwed up our electrical power generations, cut taxes like all republicans and gave us a killer deficit that brown had to pay off. not to mention his treatment of his wife. ugh, the guy is stupid, he is only good as a terminator ... how ironic.
shareI'm burned out on that over glorified lug and his stupid thick accent, still trying to cash in on his macho persona.
shareI feel the same way about pedophiles and left-wingers...
shareI think it's them doing good for others and basically being a good person. That makes them someone you can admire. I agree with the comment above.
shareI agree,wheelin,when i was looking at behind the scenes for re movies,i noticed how milla was with the other actors and crue,she was nice with them,joking around,she isn't like other actors,you know ,arrogant.
The extraordinary is in we do,not who we are.
Morgan Freeman said on Jay Leno, I don't like when people come up to me and tell me how good an actor I am or they ask for an autograph, I just don't like talking to them, Jay Leno said, you know, you really shouldn't say that on national TV, he said he didn't care, thus, I think he's a jerk, not that good of an actor and I would never watch a movie he is in. plus, he's ugly.
shareAnd a guy like that was chosen to play God.
sharenever saw the movie, or any movie he made since I watched that show, if god looks like him, we are all in trouble.
shareBruce Almighty was one. I perceive him differently now. Thanks for the insight. Makes him appear as a real ingrate. I mean an actor's livelihood is his fan base.
shareI think anyone that saw that interview will perceive him differently, I could not believe what I was hearing, I said how stupid can an actor get? many actors don't like fans but they fake it on national TV instead of saying he doesn't like them, BRAINLESS !!!!!
shareI am not sure, but Bradley Cooper was one actor I came to like. Of course, with him, he seemed to be the underdog, not too many people knew about him. Then all of a sudden, in the 2000s, he started gaining fame and momentum. I really liked him in The Hangover and then I started watching all his other movies. He seems to have a very laid back personality in most of his films. He also graduated with a master's, which I found fascinating. Most actors do not care for further education. He also aspired to be something and he got it. I aspire to be something in the movie industry and I do gigs on the side.
So for me, it is most likely the genre of movies he acts in or his general disposition, his means of further educating himself, and excelling in things he likes doing (particularly in the movie industry).
Honesty and humanity ... not the roles the play ... at least to me.
I cannot stand actors who pretend to be politically for the people,
but you find out they are right wing. There is a whole PR industry
to make actors look good to people, no matter how despicable they
are, because that is what determines their success. If you have to
lie to people and fool them to be liked so they spend their money on
your product, you do not deserve success.
Good teeth.
