Who is the greatest movie actor of all time?
Marlon Brando?
Lawrence Olivier?
Tom Hanks?
Well, if you want to measure dollars, you have to include Arnold Swartzenegger on your list.
So far, his films have made $4.1 billion.
Not bad.
He must have worked hard to get his his roles as the terminator and Conan.
At least as hard as he worked to get his 22 inch biceps, right?
Wrong.
According to this podcast interview, Arnold never went to an audition.
Not one.
Zero.
Never.
While all the other actors in Hollywood were playing by the rules, Arnold went to the front of the line.
In other words, he cheated smart.
Mr. Vig Recommends
In life, there’s always a fast way and a slow way.
Most people take the long way.
Why?
Because that’s where the crowd is; and they’re followers.
But for the brave (and smart) minority who want results faster…
I recommend smart cheating.
Hmm, what is it smart cheating… hmm.. smart cheating with consideration of self.., own individuality …own potential….
Mr. Schwartz didn´t speak English.
I always loved Sean Connery, he was charming even as an hold man.
I prefer the long way because the things conquered are appreciate more.
I suppose the greatest movie actor is not synonymous with the most successful movie actor or the best money-maker in the film industry. Therefore, I believe only money (or maybe income) can be measured, while artistic greatness is – despite some valid criteria – a subjective opinion. For me, regardless of how much he earned, it’s Marlon Brando 🙂. (During his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting – to his brother. But he is still a great artist.😉) Thus, you can cheat to earn more, sometimes, it may be brave and cause no harm; but you can not cheat to be a greater artist.
Very very good
I did not understand where is the point🤔😔 that he was the first good actor and others only followed him? Tell me please🤔
Oh maybe I should listen podcast to make sense 🙂
Hi ! Ryan
The greatest actor of movie all of time ???
Simple , was Sir Lawrence Olivier !!!
A titan of world movie !!!
It’s my opinion !
Well, in my country they say “It is not the fault of he who has eaten the whole cake (banitza) but to him who has enable this”. The question is: Who did not do his work properly and let Arnold escape from audition?
I like your Storys. You are so smart.
