I read Seans book and thought it was very interesting. He did a lot of apologizing for being a jerk sometimes, but one thing that you have to take into account is that the man is an actor. Making a living as an actor is an extremely difficult thing to do. I as an actor know this cuz, hell, ain't nobody beating down my door. Also some of the projects he had to do were just crap. Lol the things you have to do in Hollywood just to survive. Actors have it hard.
Add on the fact that you may have inhereted your moms mental illness, and you now have a wife to support. He puts into the book facts about his life, the Hollywood machine, and what he had to do to survive. Also a veiw of his insecuriities and short-comings and the fact thhat he didn't like everthing he worked on and he wasn't afraid to say it. It is very brave for anyone to put that much of themselves out there. If you had to live his life, what would you have done. He gets a role in one of the biggest movie franchizes in the history of cinema, and all he has assurance for for all three is some $200,000. This is a shit deal from any actors stand point. We wana be paid for work done!!
Sean, I didn't like everything you said, but who am I? It's not my book. Plus I kinda know what it's like. I have battled my own mental illness demons, and will continue to do so forever. I try and do what I can, but sometimes you just have to do that one shit movie just to pay the bills. Will people remeber it, or me for it? Dear god I hope not. If they do I'll spout a bunch of bull shit to them about how it was a great production, and then in my book I'll expose it for the shit it was. This is the way things are as an actor. So forgive him his short comings (pun not intended) And give him a break.

Yeah, I've finished the book and boy was it hard work. I alway thought that Sean would be one of those guys I would like to meet. But not after reading the book. So his mum suffered from manic depression - and. Lots of people suffer from and have parents who suffered from manic depression and still go through life without coming over as a bombastic little twert. And as for the name dropping. Oh yes and by the way my late mother's father would often invite Ian Paisley around for dinner, does that make me a better person?
Sorry Sean, maybe you should stick to the acting and directing, 'cos writing ain't for you.
