Craig T. Nelson is a prick

[hyphenate]

I was watching an older episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit! and Nelson was in an older interview piece (I think it might have been Letterman) saying that he didn't pay taxes because he disagreed with some of the policies of the government, in particular welfare, social security and food stamps--those kinds of things. What a dick. I hope they caught up with him at some point and either jailed him for income tax evasion, or he had to pay a lot of money back to the government.

He's an asshole.

1. Incredibles

:hide:

3. Yeah, and he was wonderful in that voice-acting role

:)

I can't stand Jerry Doyle's politics (he even has a radio show, or so I've been told) but he'll forever be Michael Garibaldi in my book :D

6. One of my kitties was named

after Garibaldi. And another is Delenn, though she gets called something else most of the time ("little one"). Yeah, it's easy to like a character when they're decent actors--they don't always show their real side.

7. That's pretty cool :)

If I ever have a pet where I get to name him/her, Vir comes to mind. Might be the perfect name for a cat anyway as they make you laugh, whether it's intentional or not, and they are so royal the rest of the time :D

Someone told me that Boxleitner was a conservative, too. Actors must have stomachs of neutronium to play characters that are so out of character for their real lives...

2. Well, Glenn Beckkk bragged about committing voter fraud on the air

how he voted absentee in all the cities where he'd worked as a DJ over the years.

Then again, per Wiki, Coach Fox has, not altogether surprisingly, been a guest on Beckkk's show.

4. Wasn't he the one who criticized "gov't handouts to the poor" and then

noted that he knew what it was to be poor because when he was a struggling actor he was on food stamps?
Somehow that sticks in my head...

[Quantess]

9. Oh, yes. I saw the interview, too.

He said that he was so poor he was on food stamps. Then in the next sentence he said something like, "but I never got any help when I was poor!"

I'm sure it's on YouTube somewhere.

5. I still liked him a "Coach"

Funny show. But he does kind of seem like he is a major prick. Never saw any of those interviews on Beck's show.

8. And he had Monk's wife killed. eom
