Obvious Truth

Rolbert De Niro

I’ve said this before ... but it’s worth repeating — because of the demands of their profession, the better the actor, the more proficient they are at lying. Therefore, the more famous the actor, the less they should be listened to in real life.

Isn’t it funny how the COVID-19 pandemic has caused Colin Kaepernick, Robert De Niro and Kathy Griffen to scurry, cockroach-like, back into the woodwork?

Look at Me!

There are quite a number of C-list people who will say or do anything to get mentioned in the media. Here are a few:

Kathy Griffin

Robert De Niro

Jim Acosta

Beto O’Rourke

Colin Kaepernick

Eric Swalwell

Alec Baldwin

Rosie O’Donnell

Rob Reiner

David Hogg

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Chelsea Handler

Jussie Smollett

Maxine Waters

The list goes on. But what is it that unites all these ragtag grandstanders? I can’t imagine ...

Actors

Robert De Niro

I have noted this before: Acting is a socially-acceptable form of lying. On the stage, actors are not the persons they are pretending to be. The roles that actors play are the creation of someone else and yet they can slip into these new personalities with realistic and convincing aplomb. Any brilliance that they may exhibit is generally someone else’s making. Therefore, excellent actors and actresses are excellent liars by definition. That is why thespians need not ever be paid attention to when they are expounding on political or moral issues ... except when they are on the stage speaking the lines of (hopefully) real thinkers.

Afterthought: Because so many actors have become politically active, I find it more difficult to suspend disbelief when I see them acting (as best I can) ... therefore movies have become less entertaining ... and I have less need to see them. I wonder if others are so affected?
