The actor who played master swordsman Inigo Montoya in "The Princess Bride" said Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz doesn't understand the point of the 1987 classic that he often quotes on the campaign trail.
Mandy Patinkin said he's received emails from friends alerting him to pictures on the Internet that show scenes taken from the movie with the Texas senator's face superimposed on top of his body, The New York Times reported.
"They Photoshopped his face right over my face!" Mr. Patinkin told the Times. "I said, 'How can I stop this?'"
Mr. Cruz has long listed "The Princess Bride" as his favorite movie and has started quoting the movie on the campaign trail.

Oh brother, I wish actors would stay out of politics.

It would be perfect for Cruz to quote Bambi’s concern for “climate change” and saying, “I don’t think that word means what you think it means.”

I would love for Senator Cruz, and everyone creating fear mongering and hatred, to consider creating hope, optimism and love. Naive much, Mandy? Kumbaya, much?

Its not like he is being forced to produce some entertainment specifically for the Cruz campaign because of some anti-discrimination law.
To: PROCON
What a freaking hypocrite. He wants Cruz to love the refugees create peace and love but once a week Mandy beams into our living rooms and spews propaganda on the show Homeland subliminally installing hate for muslims and Islam. Cannot have it both ways.

Does Inigo Montoya own the rights to the script?
To: PROCON
In the course of my life, I’ve met quite a number of actors and other celebrities. The most gracious, kind, and genuine of all of them I’ve ever met is Mandy Patinkin. His family was no different.
It is a shame that he sees Ted Cruz that way.

[[Mandy ]]
He should be more miffed about his own name

Even older than "Seinfeld".
Any "Princess Bride" fans out there?

It’s an American classic. My sisters and I always watch it when we’re together.
