All I can really say is... Holy shit!

It's a living, I guess...

Reminds me, I've still yet to see that Western Connor headlined, Prey for Death.

 

[E-DUB]

I not only can see it, but he reminded me of Bush long time ago. The eyes, I think.

 

[Melakon]

Don't know how Bush fits into the Barry Seal story, unless it has something to do with the Iran-Contra scandal.

It's the accent, surely.

 

[T'Girl]

While not twins, there is a reasonable resemblance.

If the story takes place in the 1980's what is "Dubya" doing in the story, in the 1980's he was a businessman working in the oil industry.

Keep in mind that anyone can add to the IMDB without any real moderation. It often lists actors in roles, only to retract it. Some tabloid websites even do it themselves, then 'report' on the so-claimed role for an actor to get clicks and readers. Let's wait and see, but he'd make a good Dubya.

One of the reasons I never really took to Trip was the fact that he always reminded me of Bush (the president not the lady garden).

 

[Melakon]

Trinneer was basing Trip's accent on an Ozarks variation, though he can probably do Texan.

It didn't turn me off him, but it did give the whole show a very weird vibe at the time.

They should have cast Josh Brolin.

I was watching the news last night a Hollywood film crew for Mena was filming scenes in South America and they got killed in a plane crash yesterday.

 

[Shark]

He looks right for the part. (Sadly) But, you take what you can get; especially when you spend all your cash expecting your series to last seven years.

 

[eyeresist]

I'm sure he'll be great in the part.

Bush is probably buying nose candy from the Cruise Missile.

 

[Jeffe525]

Awesome. He certainly has the accent down. He should do great. Too bad it's a Tom Cruise movie.

 

[auntiehill]

My thoughts exactly. I love Connor and like to see him getting more roles. The problem is he's playing someone I find despicable and I'm not terribly interested in seeing yet-another Tom Cruise picture.

I guess I'll wait and see how the reviews come out.

Agreed. Scientology has absolutely taken over downtown Clearwater, which is in the Tampa Bay area (where I live). It's caused a huge fuss with the residents. As a Scientologist, Cruise leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm not a big fan of Bush either. But hey, it should be fun for Trinneer to play a bad guy.

One of the other actors is called Justice Leak.

still find his appearance on touched by an angel hilarious
