He should've said NO to the Disney role


Hell, if I was him, I would've. I, unlike he, have principles, and I would refuse to star in shitty movies like the Sequels.

I agree, for respect to George, but I guess he needed a new house.

Guys he was probably paid about 2 million to do it., maybe abit more (plus theres royalties)

reply

They would have just CGI'd him in there then.

He was unrecognizable. They could have taken anyone.

Have you stopped to consider that most adults don’t give a single shit about Star Wars, including the actors who participated in it? That they have actual lives with actual responsibilities? This is a job for most of them...nothing more. That said, acting is fun, and so why would someone give up the opportunity to make a quick million, do something fun, AND act in a project that may turn out to be great? We’re all so very, very impressed with your principles, but you sound like a total moron with zero grasp of reality.

Lol, well said!

I hate to be rude, but a large percentage of the people on these boards seem wholly intent on ruining the fun of discussing/debating cinema. Nuance absolutely does not exist here, whereas delusion runs rampant. I guess I’m just sick of it.

foebane is a complete and utter prick, without question the biggest one on this board, good post by the way , whole heartedly agree.

reply

Exactly. You tell them. That character is likely his best and favourite role. Why wouldn't he... "dewit?!" 😇

reply

Have you ever walked off a job for you so-called principles??? Grown adults have to often swallow their pride and take the work available to them. In the end, who gives a shit?

reply

There's a good chance of that.
