Very Unflattering interview I read with him

I am familiar with this actor and actually think he is pretty talented, but this interview with him is really unflattering and off-putting. He comes across as a pretentious narcissist, he always thinks he is right, flat out rude to fans, and thinks the only reason that The Wire did not receive any nominations is, because the voters are racists. Way to portray yourself in a positive light!

And now he is dead. Let's just like the roles and not focus on the person.

[–] Poozer91 (610) 2 years ago

Yes. It is very sad that he is dead and my thoughts are with his loved ones. However, I did post this three years ago. I would not have have done so now.

So, if he's dead, that means that he did not come across as a pretentious narcissist, he always thinks he is right, flat out rude to fans?

Hey Hitler is dead too. Should we cut him some slack too?

[–] Poozer91 (610) 2 years ago

No. I would not have posted it right after the guy died. People are still mourning him. It would be in bad taste to do it immediately after he passed.

Comparing Lance Reddick to Hitler is way out of line. Hitler was a mass murdering dictator. The only thing they had in common is that they had huge egos and were narcissistic.

1 I never said that you should have posted it right after his death.
2 I never compared him to Hitler, I was comparing the preposterousness of the premise.

did Hitler actually physically murder people?

[–] Poozer91 (610) 2 years ago

He ruled the country and ordered the deaths. So, technically in a court of law, if he survived he would of been found guilty during the Nuremberg Trails and sentenced to death.

damn, the guy sounds like a straight up psychopath

The thread is 3 years old. Bushbobo went off half cocked on an old thread.

If you read the article posted by the OP The A.V. Club was asking questions to Lance about his career, what worked, what didn't, how he chose roles etc.

I thought he presented himself well. I don't know why the OP was offended.

An actor speaking in the first person about his career.

"Hey Hitler is dead too. Should we cut him some slack too?"

What?!

RIP

Probably because he is lay out rude to people that may have recognized him. I mean him talking about how a guy may have recognized him and how Lance was openly unpleasant and hostile. I get if you are a huge star or something, but Lance is not. I know who he is and I am sure other people do, but the majority of the public probably would not recognize the name. It is sad that he died and 60 is a young age to pass away. Especially for on someone who was actively promoting an upcoming film and as far as the media is concerned was not barreling an illness.

RIP to lance reddick or Hitler?

[–] OnanTheBarbarian (12067) 2 years ago

Yeah, this is a three year old post. It's unfair to accuse the OP of being a ghoul.

[–] Burk48917 (11371) 2 years ago

I don't follow this logic. When did we stop focusing on who the person was once they are deceased? That seems counter to reality.

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

We don't know the actor we only know his roles. Paparazzi are not a good source of information.

I don't see anything untrue about it.
