Mary-Louise Parker Considers Quitting Acting

Mary-Louise Parker Considers Quitting Acting
Kristen Lopez - The Playlist

While out promoting her latest efforts, Parker took to condemning the entertainment industry as a mean-spirited enterprise intent to thrive on people’s pain; and in turn that audiences are celebrating this by tearing down actors and films. Parker opines that, “There’s way more mean-spiritedness… It’s a mean culture - its reality TV and its watching people suffer and watching people humiliate themselves.”  She goes onto allude to shows such as “Toddlers and Tiaras” and “Celebrity Rehab” as proof of this “ugly” culture where entertainment is “like someone just lifted up a rock and that’s all we’re looking at.”

My first reaction is to think, “grow up, your an actor, that’s the way it is” but you know she’s kind of right. There have been several movies this year that so many people have jumped all over that weren’t so bad. It’s definitely a bit of a cut-throat world out there in the movie biz.
