I've never thought an actor is the character they play. I wouldn't go up to Orson Welles and say, "How could you sell fake medicine and kill those children?!"

Well, except Alec Baldwin in Glengary Glen Ross. I think he was so good in that, because that's pretty much him. I still wouldn't harangue him on the street about being mean to Jack Lemon.

I wonder how many people come up to him and ask him about Gale Sayers. Brian's Song is supposed to be one of the most popular movies among men.

Jack Lemon had the public image of being someone most everybody liked. Sort of like Gary Cooper, sort of like Guy Fieri.

I’ll bet somewhere, someone still harbors a silent, blazing fury about how Alec’s character treated Jack’s character in that movie. “It just wasn’t fair!!”

“I’ve never thought an actor is the character they play.”

Then you’re probably not a woke fed kid through every outlet there can be and you grew up understanding it is just a movie, not gaza.
