I want to know your take on Hollywood, right?
Right now, Hollywood seems like it's going up and down.
I mean, it seems like there's less productions now.
Yeah, well, that's going to die.
Really?
I believe what's taking place with AI,
you know, it's part of the future.
Everyone is looking for some kind of more
of an immediate kind of satisfaction.
And you're not going to get that with film.
You can't rush acting.
You don't really rush art,
so if people just want to be a quick stimulus, then they're
going to turn to the AI.
Now I think the arts will build a lot more,
you know, there'll still be more plays, there'll
still be all of that, but as far as acting goes, the jobs are gone.
I think we're just about at the end of an era,
it's like the end of silent films and
now something new is going to happen, like the end of radio.
It's just a necessary transition.
It's not a sad thing, even though we may lose a lot of great talent.
But you saw what happened with Ben Affleck just selling
his company for $575 million.
That was an AI-driven company that was made
because they knew that change was around the corner.
So you have to embrace it and don't...
You can't mourn it so much, you know,
it was a wonderful era and I hope that it's still
supported and you can support independent films
but I think the big studios, all of that is going
towards the AI in the future.
Wow, so what do actors need to do now to like compete with this?
I mean this is like pretty sad, I mean.
You can't compete, you can't compete with
inevitability, it's going to occur, so you've got to let go.
You know, and embrace it, that's what you have to do.
