Another actor who doesn't understand his job...

Here is a story about another hollywood actor who doesn't understand that part of his job is not offending people who might pay to see his work...

[h=2]Late last week during the Republican convention, we learned that "American Pie" star Jason Biggs isn't anything like his onscreen persona. That sweet, good-hearted character is in reality played by a vicious, unfunny pig who obviously has some issues with women.[/h]Free speech is a lovely concept worth defending and no one's telling Biggs to shut up (I rather like how free speech allows the wicked among us to reveal their true selves). But "free" doesn't mean "consequence free," and not only has the blowback against Biggs been such that the coward deleted the offending tweets about Paul Ryan's wife, but now Biggs' current employer, children's network Nickelodeon, has a very serious p.r. problem on its hands.
Nickelodeon not only hired Biggs to voice a cartoon version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," but as our friends at Twitchy have documented, the children's network promotes his vile Twitter account.
Yes, that's right, Nickelodeon directs your children to a Twitter account filled with sexist talk of bleached *******s, incest (complete with photos), "cock," photos of dildos, and Chick-fil-A trashing.
To me the story here isn’t yet one more actor revealing himself as an intolerant, woman-hating, sexual degenerate -- it's that parents cannot trust Nickelodeon to protect their children from pornographic talk, hate, and religious bigotry. In fact, Nickelodeonencourages your children to click their way into this world.

The agents and various handlers for these actors and actresses should send these people to classes on what their job actually is...to sell tickets and create viewership. Doing stupid things like this, free speech and all, is not going to acomplish what they were hired to do.

...and then there are many more who don't give a crap and only see it when posted on a thread here. Bill, you really don't have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to Hollywood and thier politics, since Clint Eastwood's speach to the RNC. I still like Mr Eastwood as an actor and director, but think his politics are off. Maybe you should take a similiar stance towards actors you don't agree with.

No, actually. As "actors," their "job" is largely over once they stop acting. They are citizens, after all, and can say whatever they want-and hold whatever views they want, no matter how vile or how offensive others may find them.

It's always been that way, no matter what they're still trying to sell over on rottingcorpse.com :
