Yep... I think he did himself out of a future in acting.

His results were the exact opposite of what he was expecting.

FWIW

And the verdict is in - Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.

And I had never even heard of the show he was in before the story broke. And since I refuse to spend good money on satellite subscriptions or similar stuff, I probably will never see a single episode, ever. And won't miss it.

He’s got a career in community service,

It was a good show at first but it got very violent and gory.  I quit watching it after the first season.  He’s guilty but the news caster said he will probably not see jail time. Instead he will get community service. He lost his career for now but it will all blow over.  I’m not sure he learned anything.

Showtalk said...

I’m not sure he learned anything.

So he might plan another attack on himself? (* SNORT *)

FWIW
