Re: real people. not actors

Nick Apollo Forte in Woody Allen's "Broadway Danny Rose." Had a sizeable role.

Speaking of Allen, Marshall McLuhan had a small but significant speaking role in "Annie Hall."

Darlene Cates, the morbidly obese mother in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" was discovered on a talk show and hired.

Dr. Haing S. Ngor, was a captive of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia before he became a refugee in America. He won an Oscar for his role essentially recreating his experiences overseas.

Many others, I would suppose.

Actors reading dialogue from a hack writer wouldn't sound any phonier than the "real people" in those Chevy commercials.

Re: real people. not actors

You keep posting that ; why are you being so pedantic? This board is practically dead as it is, I'm not sure why you're trying to shut down any conversation anyone tries to have about anything.

He's a troll seeking attention. Put him on ignore, don't feed him, and soon the only person he'll be talking to is himself.

Empress,

You make a point about the forum being practically dead and about me being pedantic.
However, my intention is not to troll but to improve the forum so its not dead. Would you find it annoying if people posted movie questions in this forum? Maybe more people would post but they see all the trivia and are turned off.
