I do it all the time when the police pull me over. It's called lying/faking. :D

I've lied to my parents, and I used to be a salesman. Does that count? :D

***NOTE: The above statement includes a :D denoting that it was made in a woefully bad attempt at humor.***

Seriously though, I haven't acted in any films per se. I used to make kung-fu "movies" years ago on public access. I know a few people involved in "the industry" through various contacts, though not at the same level as Chaplin, cheesebeef, or Rivercard.

I've obviously struck a cord, and will cease and desist mocking acting, both as a profession and craft.

LONG LIVE THE OSCARS!

Now, I'll say it again, acting is easy. Say your lines, hit your marks, go home.

You're in the industry, give me an acting job and I'll show you.

I hear that Pierce Brosnan is likely getting out of the role of James Bond.

Rumor has it that Ewan McGregor may replace him in the future.

Unless we can get you in for an audition... :cool: ;) :D

The salesman thing may very well count :D

I hope you didn't sell industrial lighting door to door like you described in a previous post. That has to be one of the worst ideas ever - who buys industrial lighting for their homes?

Cold calls and presentations for business owners that would let me in the door. The only job I've ever had where I owed money to my boss after two weeks!

My wife was watching it last night and I ended up watching it with her. I actually thought it was enjoyable. Billy Crystal cracks me up. Jack Black an Will Ferrell were hilarous.

Over all I thought it was a good show minus the long boring thank you speeches.

Time to revive this thread, cuz Im already tired of hearing about the Oscars. For over 5 days now. Oh what are they gonna wear? Oh this is there free gift package! Oh look at................

Its just freaking movies people. Not a life changing deal.

I wonder what the Noble Prize winner will be wearing this year? Oh thats right, no one cares about that.

Just inflated egos, and geting a star on the walk of fame.

Hmmmm....

Rock defends Oscar quips
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]23/02/2005 - 08:00:50[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Upcoming Oscars host Chris Rock is standing by controversial remarks he made calling the award ceremony a "fashion show" which holds no interest for black men unless they are gay.

The Head of State funnyman sparked a storm of controversy after his anti-Academy Awards tirade was published in US magazine Entertainment Weekly, but he remained unrepentant during an appearance on American chat show The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.

The 40-year-old joked: "I did not say that. I said only gay people watch the Tonys!"

Before continuing more seriously: "I really don't know any straight men who aren't in show business that have ever watched the Oscars.

"What straight black man sits there and watches the Oscars? The awards don't really affect anybody's lives in the crowd."

[/font]
