As last time, your post is somewhat orthogonal to mine.

My post had nothing to do with whether or not he "made it". Personally I think he "made" very little, but apparently there are many who think otherwise - that is fine with me.

My post was not about his acting or writing style... I will leave it up to his "huge fans" to comment on those. It was far broader, but also much more narrow at the same time.

Perhaps you feel differently, but I do expect certain level of social skills from the directors I am inclined to respect. Notice - I am not talking about actors here (another mistake of yours...) but those who actually create, not just play something.

His "performance" that night was pitiful when considered in that context, all the things that he apparently "made" could not compensate for lack of intellectual thrust in his delivery. That is what my post was about.

You apparently like what he writes... but that makes his appearance so much more unfortunate.

I mentioned "I Remember" which features Mastroianni for good reason. As Stanislavsky used to say: "Love art in yourself, not yourself in art". Mastroianni is a marvelous pupil of that school, while Smith is an almost exact opposite.
