It probably comes from years of directors' yelling "Brilliant! Brilliant!" after a take. Pretty soon the dimbulb actors start to think it's true in the general sense.
Well I am not saying all actors are dunces there are some very good intelligent one but the majority couldn’t pass kindergarten..
I enjoy a true actor and I for one did not and have never liked DeNiro..There are not many true stars in Hollywood now days not like when i was a child growing up..
The ones I really detest are the ones that go to Cuba and other communist countries start downing my wonderful country..My country was great until these morons communist opened their stupid mouths..I guess I am just not the kind that goes gaga over Hollywood..I do however enjoy a great movie and have found none of those lately..
