“I don't consider an actor a star if he's paid $20 million and grimaces in front of the camera and has a stunt man stand in for him. They may be fine actors, but they're not role models.

They're getting shot at and they don't have any stunt doubles standing in for them.” IfsMenMayRealBodyActorsStarsRolesMillionsFrontsFineDegreesModelsShotsStandingPaidCamerasHeatRole ModelsArmorGrimace Author:Ben Stein

The main character can't be slutty.
