I don't consider Eastwood to be a Hollywood celebrity i.e., flash in the pan for awhile (most of whom I don't know their names nor recognize their faces). Eastwood is more of a Hollywood icon. He has been around a long, long time, was part of building the industry transitioning from the "golden age" of studio contracts/ownership, and even did his civic duty as mayor of Carmel. I would put him up there with the legends of Hollywood, and one of the last ones at that. |

Omigosh yes. He plays on many, many of his films. That's why he made Bird. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I never think of that song without remembering the Smothers Brothers routine. They start out singing, and as always had beautiful voices and melody when they wanted to. Then Tommy trails off, leaving Dickie to sing alone, and commences to mug the audience and start a whole riff about how stupid it is to talk to trees. He looks down and stamps his foot three times and says, "Hi there, Stage; you used to be a tree, didn't ya?" Dickie of course is completely disgusted. Oh well, you hadda be there. |

"Yesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn’t there He wasn’t there again today I wish, I wish he’d go away... When I came home last night at three The man was waiting there for me But when I looked around the hall I couldn’t see him there at all! Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more! Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door... (slam!) Last night I saw upon the stair A little man who wasn’t there He wasn’t there again today Oh, how I wish he’d go away..." |

A backpacker is traveling through Hollywood when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a deep gravelly voice: "You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me Clint the bar builder? No." He continued "Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me Clint the wall builder? No." "Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me Clint the pier builder? No." "But ya talk to one empty chair..." |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

The guy was an actor before that. Lots of actors around here, most of them waiting tables, badly. The chair might have been his defining moment |

No, it was hardly his "defining moment", although now that even liberal nutjobs can't hide the fact that Obama was in fact an empty suit, it did show that he was right with the empty chair bit. |

Then by your definition, he may be the best actor of the last 50 years. He also has directed 36 films. Has composed several movie scores. And served a stint as a mayor of a town. Not bad for any empty chair guy, huh? |

There's a southern comedian that makes a joke about a lawnmower service and tax preparation company. I wish I could remember his name - he's really funny. His point is that fixing your mower does not make him a tax expert. Does Mr. Eastman's success as an actor make him someone you trust with your mower? If you won't trust him with your mower, why the hell would you trust him with your government? Why are we even having this conversation? |

I think you have to spend time around actors to understand who they are and what they do. I'm not surprised that you give them more credit than they deserve. |
