how in the fuck did he become so popular?

i was hoping stealth would knock him back to the world of so-so actors

i did enjoy his acting in the tom cruise movie (name is escaping me now) but holy fucking no talent hitting the a list batman

how many souls did he have to sacrifice to rise like he is?

ray, collateral and jarhead makes for a pretty good resume. i know he did ridiculously bad stuff earlier but his acting in those movies he was great. maybe you should reexamine your prejudice against him.

He's good, but his stupid "romance" he plays along with on Oprah's show is disturbing.

I'd say why the extra X, but then people would ask me why the extra N

i have no idea why he is so popular. i heard on the radio a couple of days ago, that his music cd sold 500,000 copies the first week. :?

I thought he was horrible in "Any Given Sunday," but I thought his performances in "Ray" and "Collateral" were very good. Depending on how awful the "Miami Vice" movie turns out to be, he may just become unknown once again.

He's alright, but why is he releasing an album? Since when is mimicking a great artist qualification for becoming a singer in your own right?

When I saw his weak hotel-sitcom a few years back I never would have thought this guy would make it big-time in his lifetime. I liked him a lot in Collateral though.
