You've given up MT and have entered The Actor's Studio in NY. They adore
you. You're fantastic. You're another Meryl Streep (or Sean Penn). Steven
Spielberg wants you. Ron Howard wants you. Martin Scorcese wants you. Rob
Reiner wants you. (you get the idea)

You've been offered the lead part in a movie. The movie will be PG rated,
so there's no nudity and there's no cussing. Your will be salary:
$5,000,000 (think about it ... your children could go to fantastic
schools, you could fix up your home, take the vacation of your dreams,
donate it all to your favorite charity, etc)

Here's the catch ... the role is one that is direct opposition to your
personal beliefs. Example: You're opposed to abortion, but the role
requires you to play a doctor who performs abortions. You're a die-hard
democrat and you have to play the #1 individual that tried to get Bush
elected. You love this country, but you have to play a member of a
terrorist group. (along those lines)

Remember ... $5,000,000 to do with what you want.

Could you and would you play the part?


Sure. That's a no-brainer for one reason: If the show is about any of
these types of subjects, then it's likely topical and will promote
discussion of those subjects. By playing someone you are opposed to, you
have an opportunity to portray that person in a certain way that may make
the audience dislike her as well. Also, an actor playing a part isn't
endorsing the actions of the character he plays - think of all the actors
who play serial killers, or cops gone bad, or evil aliens out to rule the
world!
