The Off Topic Topic

[Syt]

I remember when I first found it out finding some actor with quite some name recognition and a bit of a celeb back in the day (can't remember who exactly, but his name popped out quite a bit), with quite the prize tag to match, and browsing through the public messages it seemed that he just recorded a bunch of them in a row with his phone from his sofa after waking up, he sounded so sleepy and disinterested, but doing the math he made something like a thousand dollars from that batch of videos.

I guess it all depends on their motivation as well, if it's something they've signed up eagerly or something they've just been convinced to do. Or how long they've been in the site as well.

Might take a look later to see who's in there nowadays. 

I thought Scott Grimes makes a good effort (Gordon on Orville, Steve on American Dad, Malarkey on Band of Brothers), and John DeLancie also was all right. Some surprises, too. James Vanderbeek's (of all people) messages seem surprisingly personable. And Brian Bosworth is also surprisingly talkative.

Had to look up who James Vanderbeek is. Divorced, five kids, started doing reality TV because even guest appearances in TV shows are drying up. Yeah, he will put in some effort

He was the star of Dawsons Creek which was quite big at the time. Nowadays he's mostly known for this meme template:

Wiki says he is married and he had a main cast role as recently as 2018.

Looking at the IMDB page for "Pose" it seems pretty popular, set in 1980s New York.

Fair enough, I did overlook that one.

Wow, John Cleese is in there, I guess that the joke about him never going to stop working because of all his ex wives was no joke after all. 

Edit: Hey Brain, you can get Dolph Lundgren to serenade you for 200$, if you want.

There were also people that I assume are famous in their own right, but because they belong to fields where I know almost nothing about, like baseball and the like, I can't say if they're proper stars or not. Also, there are a couple of people from Tiger King.

Dick van dyke is alive?

Yup, he's 94. He was even in the latest Mary Poppins! 

Edit: There you have his scene, he plays the son of his bank director character from the original movie.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. $500 to find out.

I thought he was a chimney sweep in the original.
