I met MCD in a diner in Orlando called Angels. Without telling him, I paid for his breakfast + was getting to leave. Before I could, he came up to me, thanked me after I’d said how much I loved his performance + proceeded to put double the amount his breakfast had cost into the charity box the finer had for providing decent breakfasts to poorer kids. He was a giant without camera trickery + a total class act. I wish him the best wherever he moved on to.

Someone else who really deserves credit in that movie would be the character of Percy played by Doug Hutchison. It's difficult and rare to give praise to characters whom you hate so much. And its not that the actor did a bad job, but quite the opposite. They played the horrible and despicable character so well that you truly hate that character with every fiber of your being. And that really does deserve praise. And Percy ranks right up there with characters like Joffrey from Game of Thrones. And its even better when they are the exact opposite in real life. Now I don't know much about Hutchison, but Jack Gleeson, who played Joffrey is apparently one of the nicest and sweetest people in real life.
