Actor/Loon Michael Moriarty on Dan Brown, Tom Hanks, and Hillary Clinton
ESR | October 10, 2005 | If Dan Brown is right…: “Hanks’ own instincts in making the proper acting choices and choosing the right scripts have been so unerringly on the mark that it’s a marvel to watch him. He is, dear readers, exactly what he was in his comedies, and as he revealed a part of himself in his portrayal of Forrest Gump and in the brilliantly compassionate performance he gave in Philadelphia: he is America’s most romantic soul on the silver screen. Hanks’ soul is as perfect a one as can be found in Hollywood these days.
Unfortunately, urged on by Spielberg and Ron Howard, Hanks will be the mascot of the newly established Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). With the worldwide release of The Da Vinci Code, he’ll be assured of an Academy Award nomination, but his co-star Audrey Tautou will win the coveted ‘gold.’ This will help to ensure Hillary Clinton’s election as President of the United States.”
Elsewhere in the post, we learn that Moriarty likes Hanks:
I’ve met the man twice, once at an awards ceremony in New York where he was unexpectedly generous toward me and my talent while he was onstage; then again at the Emmy Awards at which I won Best Supporting Actor for my performance in James Dean: An Invented Life. At this second meeting, I was still drinking, so I wasn’t entirely up to par, so to speak. While walking with Steven Spielberg, he said firmly, “Michael, take care of yourself.”
Gee, I’m glad he likes Hanks. I’d hate to see what he’d say if he didn’t like him!
This image from Moriarty’s site is also pretty hilarious.
