There are dumb actors. But there are dumb politicians and dumb bakers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been described as a smart actor because I've attended college. Or I've been called an artsy jock. And I am thinking, 'So, are actors supposed to be dumb?'
Actors are people who are doing a job they want to do, which isn't the case for many of the people who watch what we do.
So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?
All good actors are very bright. You can't be stupid and a good actor. You may be inarticulate, you may not be highly educated, but all good actors are quick-witted, some of them dazzlingly so. All you do is guide them.
Actors who say they don't watch TV are stupid. I was raised by TV! And it's how I research for auditions.
Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!
There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous, and those who are liars.
I really can't complain about actresses who get paid to be dumb. Most of us can't get paid to be smart.
It's not every actor that can play a genius.
I do believe all actors are smart.
