Only the male actors star in movies!


How ironic given the name of this show.

Typical that the only parts in movies are for male actors who would not be in films including blockbuster movies if it wasn't for "Girls!"

Are you Lena? Seriously, Adam Driver is actually very talented and not a spoiled brat. Nepotism is why the "girls" do not have successful acting careers. Oh wait! Apatow put Dunham in one of his lousy films. So she has a film career! Yay

There's nothing ironic about male actors getting starring roles in movies.

If I don't reply, you're most likely on my ignore list

Well, Alison Williams did get the lead role in that TV version of "Peter Pan".

Playing a male character!

Okay ... maybe that's a bit off topic.

reply

Lena, Zosia, and Alison are all getting film roles. I don't know if Jemima even wants film roles after "Girls" is over as she has mentioned that her main career is being a painter and not an actress.

Maybe Dunham doesn't have time for film roles. The show is her baby (head writer, director, star). And Driver was already getting his foot in the door of film roles when the show first aired, like his bit part in Lincoln.

Yeah, but nobody actually heard of him until he did GIRLS,period. That's what really put him out there in the first place.

Besides Adam Driver?

I tried to join the CIA once, but they found out my parents were married.
