It beats working retail. You get the same treatment for a lot less money. Granted I didn't have to get naked.

When one considers how Heath died it is no wonder he was miserable on the set of "Brokeback." I suspect he was miserable in general, to say the least.

i don't care what people say about some actors being difficult
to direct in scenes. If the director is half-way decent about
how he treats them, he will have the same results without
acting like a dictator. Heath
Ledger, I believe had come to
grips with his depression and
I still think his death was accidental. He was a lonely man
from what I hear about him and
that leads to brooding. Surely
someone recognized the signs or
did they have to be hit over the head when someone they know
needs a helping hand over the
rough spots in life.
