If you were in the acting profession, which roles would you NEVER take? ~

Primarily as an example, I think I'd turn down anything that makes my ethnicity and/or nationality look bad.

    Anything; demonic, promotes criminal activity, Scientology, Voodoo, cults, porno or glorifies bad behavior.

    Yes.  There are so many of those bad Scientology movies coming at us from all over.

    When I was a young fella, a co-worker invited me to join him at a nearby college to 'make a movie' that included some girls. He would not give any details when I asked for more info. I didn't go because of the lack of info. Later, I figured it was some sort of amateur porno movie. Not my cup of tea!

    Hello Randy:

    I wouldn't call myself a professional, but for FUN, some years ago, I did some extra work.  It didn't matter WHO I was hired to portray.  I'm an ACTOR, after all, so I PLAYED him..  I played a jailbird in Harry & The Henderson's, which wasn't a stretch, of course.  But, I also played a cop in Dangerous Affection with Judith Light and Jimmy Smits..  And, I played the best damn cop I could.  I think I've told this story before but it bears repeating..

    We were filming in front of the actual police headquarters in Seattle, and I'm wearing a Seattle cop's uniform..  It came to pass that I had to use the restroom.  So I went INSIDE, looking for the head.. As I'm walking down the hall a REAL cop was struggling with a prisoner.  As I walked by, he asked me if I was gonna HELP or not..  So, I helped.  I KNEW that guy was a murderer or something.. 

    Do you think the uniform changed me??

  • For the kind of money they make?   Not much I wouldn't do outside of kiss a dude.   Even that might have a price.

    Winged Wonder will be sad to hear that.  I had the two of you set up for a summer box office steamer.  Oh well, it's back to the Casting Office for me.  *Sigh.

    Any role that required me to use bad grammar. Or nudity.

    Dang!  I had your agent sign you up as my love interest in a remake of "To Sir, With Love".  I wrote it, so it's set in an adult school and called "To Sir, With Lust", of course.  I wean you from talking like trailer trash into a refined lady,  . . . oh, never mind; you probably would have fallen deeply for me after doing the sex scenes.  I'll just have to go and find someone else.

    I didn't think I had to mention that sex scenes with Randy D are also off the table. This post was edited by Jane S at January 9, 2017 8:00 AM MST

    You're right; it's best that you and I keep that part of our lives private.
