(45,021 posts)Who knew? It seems many of his films go against the authoritarian borg mentality of most Republicans. I wonder how he justifies that one.
on edit: Are you sure about Lynch's politics? I googled up this quote "Im a Democrat now. And Ive always been a Democrat, really. But I dont like the Democrats a lot, either, because Im a smoker, and I think a lot of the Democrats have come up with these rules for non-smoking. And I dont think that thats necessarily so bad, but they have to give the smokers a place."

He was a Bernie supporter! Even did an ad for him.
And Bernie got into Twin Peaks music backstage on Ellen

The star of Babe. "That'll do pig. That'll do."
I can't do it but if someone can post a photo, you'll see what I mean. Great actor.

(6,283 posts).... James Cromwell is an actor who can melt your heart, or chill you to the bone. He deserves all the accolades he can get.

(50,566 posts)In 1955, the movie To Hell and Back was released. It is the story of Audie Murphy, who earned every award for valor the US Army had during World War II. This fuckin' guy singlehandedly held off an entire company of German infantry with a .50-caliber machine gun for a full hour while standing in a burning vehicle, for which he earned the Medal of Honor. What I find interesting is he earned only three Purple Hearts.
When Hollywood decided to make a movie out of his memoirs, they felt the only man who could properly play Audie Murphy was Audie Murphy himself.
I'd cast Robert Mueller in the role of Robert Mueller.
