ok ok I really to breath I hate to say this has something to do with Adam Baldwin I hate to say this but I'm looking a a very very class b movie and Adams a part of it well the star any way its called ,DR,Jekyll and MR.Hyide, to tell you you the truth I HATE CLASS B MOVIES every thing about them makes me sick the crapy music or the bad actors or the remake after remake or skrips or the horible action secnes and I realy hate to see a fine actor like Mr. Baldwin get stuck in a motion like this non the less some of his said to say latest films luckly SERINTY to the recscue.
I know I'm comeing a bit strong on MR.Baldwin and you cant help but fell sorry for all those actors who get a great script but at the same a bad director amd a very low bugit well thats all I hav to say.

,-) check the official site. its even telling you about his role in this movie. dont forget most actors arent that lucky and can start their career with grade a movies or cult shows. look at schwarzenegger and hercules in new york, porn with silvester stallone or tons of other bad movies featuring great actors.

Ash from the evil dead and army of darkness mvies
Peter Jackson directed one to do with zombies or some such. B movies are fun guilty pleasures every now and agian.

Um... ok. This is the way it works:

1.) someone wants to be an actor.
2.) actors like to eat.
3.) automatically, the income potenial drops significantly as most dont make it.
4.) to keep with #2, actors will be in anything they can.
5.) if actors are in good movies and then nothing for a while, they will do anything to keep with #2.
6.) even if actors are in good movies, sometimes they will willingly put themselves in bad movies as a way to network, repay favors (from when they were just starting out, helping out someone just starting out, etc etc), or just because they get paid.

** ever hear what Clint Eastwood said about his Dirty Harry movies? hint: doesnt like violence, but likes $$$.

Ever seen Sean Connery in a stinky movie? YES. Dustin Hoffman? YES. Sandra Bullock? YES. It happens all the time.

Exactly. Too many people either forget or just don't realize that for people like Adam Baldwin, making movies is a profession, not something he does just for kicks. There are probably more actors in the world than there are available roles. Some actors take roles in crappy B films so they can pay the rent and get a credit on their resume. Very few can afford to be picky.

Adding to DeckRoid's examples, Michael Caine is a fantastic actor but has made a lot of awful movies. Why? I saw an interview where he said he grew up without a lot of money, so for him the attitude was basically take the jobs you can get because they may not always be there.

Speaking of Firefly actors in bad movies...did anyone catch Nathan Fillion's small role in the horrendous Dracula 2000?

And as a final note, I am quite grateful to the world of B movies for providing me with countless hours of often unintentional entertainment. And for Bruce Campbell.

I LOVE B movies. Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, countless others. If they do not become cult classics, they are fun to sit back & watch w/ friends. Some of them we sit back & do our own version of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. It is great for laughs while sharing some frosty beverages w/ friends.
