Hey Ben,
I was just wondering, what exactly you're doing? Why are you making movies, dude? You just don't seem to put the care you used to into A) The projects you select and B) The performances you give. I don't think you're that bad an actor. O'Bannion and Chuckie from GWH were awesome performances in great projects. Since than though....I mean come on...Capt. Rafe McCawley? Ollie Trinke? Michael Jennings, Larry Gigli, Buddy Amaral...Rudy Duncan? Are you serious? That's 60 bucks that I would like back.

And then I see you on Saturday Night Live and other late night Comedy shows making fun of these parts. Shame on you. No one is to blame but you. You and your phoned in, lazy performances.

I think you're an interesting guy and you seem to carry yourself with a certain confidence and pinache, and the ladies seem to like you, but boy oh boy, you just lose all that when you get on camera. Please dude, put a little elbow grease into your work, or get out of the business. I'm sure there is about a million hungry performers waiting to step into your position.

Thanks for your time,
A (fading) Fan.

Jersey Girl was pretty good. It certainly surprised me.

Here, Here! Jersey Girl was a great little flick. Ollie Trinke is one his best roles so far, and its clear to me why its the role he's most proud of. I hope he plays Fletch in Kevin Smith's "Fletch Won". It would be a great role for him and I think his best performances are in Smith's movies.
