Lacks in eloquence

This is a general observation and by no means intended as a personal attack but merely a constructive criticism: this actor is not very well spoken!

I work in the industry (behind the scenes, if you will-also, I'm a very small fish in the pond) but I have helped set up a couple of sets for the interviews he participated in. I wasn't very impressed with his speaking ability, he reminds me of all of those other younger actors that can barely put a sentence together without repeating the words: "like, you know and aaaa". I think he should either get a coach or a personal mentor that will guide him on how to deal with the media. His generation (especially Hispanics) need a good example here.

I totally get what you mean...for example...I was talking to one of my friends the other day about Christmas and then I found out they were Jewish and I wasn't worried about it, but I told someone else about it and they freaked out. Later I asked that person if they cared that I talked about Christmas and they said that they could care less and then pointed out to my other friend that they wouldn't be affended if someone were to talk about Haunukka in front of them. People just need to get over offending people...most of the time it doesn't really matter.
