Actors Believe Celebrities Rarely Speak Up

American - Actor
Born: December 24, 1959

Celebrities like to pay lip service to causes but rarely do so by putting their lives in peril. And even more rarely do they do so in the name of the United States of America, not on their own behalf.

Andrew Breitbart

American actors are very different to British actors who have generally studied and been brought up culturally with the sense that the writer is the star and that their job is to serve the writing. Whereas Hollywood actors are brought up to believe that the actor is the star, and everything and everybody is in the service of them.

Joe Wright

IMDb publishes the actual dates of birth of thousands of actors without their consent, most of them not celebrities but rank-and-file actors whose names are unknown to the general public.

Ken Howard

I liked movers and shakers more than celebrities. I wasn't that interested in celebrities. I grew up without a TV.

Jeannette Walls

I want authenticity. And rarely do actors - more specifically, black actors - get a chance to be authentic on film and television.

Russell Hornsby

I think most actors rarely get the opportunity to play something really close to you and speaks to something you deeply believe.

Martin Sheen

I left L.A. and moved to Cleveland for four years in the early 2000s or whatever. I came back and thought that everything had changed. I was like, 'Oh my God, I don't think I ever fit in here. And wait, who are all of these celebrities that are not actors? Where did all of the actors go?'

Monica Potter

I connect much more with theatre actors than with cinema actors - insofar as you can speak of 'cinema actors' in Mexico, because there isn't a big film industry.

Diego Luna

Though I do believe that when you live in political times it is inevitable that your art be political, I also think we need to start making activists celebrities rather than trying to make celebrities to be activists.

Maya Hawke

The American people don't believe politicians. They don't believe business leaders or Hollywood celebrities or athletes or other supposed role models. And they certainly don't believe the news media.

John Yarmuth

The thing about many celebrities - not all - is that they're fantastic actors.

Paul Lieberstein

We at Hoods Up aren't just about celebrities. I am a huge fan of a lot of artists and actors, although I don't feel it is necessary to put it on them to help sell the brand. It would an honor if anyone were to wear it, celebrity or not.

Ronnie Radke

Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods. But we are idols and we're all gods, so to speak, and I think that celebrities should acknowledge their responsibility, because we are in a position to help.

Dolly Parton

Actors are seen as celebrities, but they're just real people with families.

Sami Gayle

There are two jobs. There is being an actor, and there is being a celebrity. Some people are really good at both. Some people are really good celebrities and terrible actors, and some people are really good actors and terrible celebrities. Hopefully, I am a really good actor and an OK celebrity.
