Here is my advice to actors regarding bad movies: Do only films that you wouldn't mind talking about for the next 20 years. Because you never know what kind of longevity your projects will have, particularly with clips being available indefinitely online. An independent movie - good or bad - could take you anywhere. It could make you famous. It could make you notorious. It could be a worldwide phenomenon, or it could be "The Room." So, I say to all aspiring actors: Sidle up to the poker table of Hollywood, play your cards and see what you get. I did. Did I get a full house? More like two-of-a-kind with a wild card. But I'll take it. 'Cause at least it's funny. And I really like to laugh. Show less «
