OK...Since you don't like Jason Statham...Bruce Willis is the exception to your "rule". If you don't like Bruce Willis...Sean Connery... If you don't like Sean Connery...spazzx625
Irrelevant. Everyone likes Sean Connery.

I swear this forum is full of bandwagon jumpers. You posted ppl who have hair, are 70 years old, and have had hair put on their heads for movies AND I admitted there are exceptions to the rule. THEN you tell me I did not accept the patrick stewart. DudeNtheRoom
did you by chance eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid?....

So? I don't get why you are nixing every example given...While your only supporting argument has been a yogurt commercial?

[QUOTE="DudeNtheRoom"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] How many do you want TC???? More than 10 have been given...all you did was give some yoplait ad on TVspazzx625
You're totally skipping the fact that you guys are showing men who actually have a decent amount of hair on their heads!!!

James Gandolfini has been bald as long as he's been famous and he was picked as the lead for a show about the mafia. :|

And I've seen movies where they put hair on his head for the role AND he's a little old which is normal for balding men.

I have also found this forum to have a few people that don't like to admit when their assertions are proven to be incorrect. So I guess we both have groups that are more difficult to deal with than we would like ...good thing none of them are in this thread though, right?

Some roles require weird costumes, alien makeup, hair, no hair...crazy, I know. Acting...playing a role that is not you...it is truly an odd concept

It amazes me. One of your examples was a guy who isn't even bald and all of you are totally missing that. I'm talking about the average male being portrayed. Not a Mob boss, or a friggin super villain, or a actor who has been in the business for years who ppl already like.

And I've seen movies where actors with hair have their heads shaved to deliberately look bald. Chow Yun Fat and Johnny Depp come to mind.

Jason born could be bald? Neo could have been bald? Neither of those actors are balding yet your point of view supports what I just said. Stop trying to be a smartarse.

We need to back off and acknowledge that he is correct and we were wrong.

In yoplait ads (not any other movie or role), bald men have been getting stereotyped for years, and it needs to stop

I'm sure you're being sarcastic.

I'm saying in movies and commercials and TV where it's based on real life bald men are usually thought of as losers. Super villains and really ficticious characters is not what I'm talking about.

Most of the people brought up are based off of real life bald men whether they are acting in a movie or in commercials, or tv.

Oh and add Colin Mockery to the list.

This is where I wish I could swear. I don't know what you're talking about. Stop acting like you're better just b/c you want to join in with everyone else. If I don't know what part you're talking about how am I suppose to look it up?

You are the one that brought up Nero...not me. So the onus is on you. If you haven't seen the matrix, then you shouldn't bring it up. If you have seen it, then you should know what I am talking about (since it is about half of every movie)
