<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I got over thinking "Hey, it's Magneto" pretty darn quick at the beginning of LotR, and was even able to accept an actor I'd only seen in one other (very memorable) role before as Elrond. I'm not trying to be rude, but he's an actor. I'll believe in whatever he does because he's a good one, and it's hardly fair of us to criticize him for taking the part.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Well said. For Pete’s sake people, he is playing <B>Magneto</B>. In comparison, Dumbledore is Shakespear! Most actors and actresses are the lowest forms of life on the face of the earth! Who cares what they act in! They get money to prostitute their faces and act like people they aren’t. Sure its an art form, and on some level its respectable, but the fact that actors and actresses are cultural icons is an extremely sad commentary on our times.
