LOL!  Liam Neeson??  The one with special talents?

I'm surprised Charles Bronson never succumbed to this feeling.
How do we know he didn't? By all accounts Bronson was quiet and reserved, not a blowhard like Neeson. Bronson at least actually had BALLS and really was an action hero.

Was drafted into the army in 1943 and assigned to the Air Corps. At first he was a truck driver, but was later trained as a bomber tail gunner and assigned to a B-29. He flew 25 missions and received, among other decorations, a Purple Heart for wounds incurred in battle.

Anybody that flew 25 missions as a B-29 tail gunner is a hero in my book!

I'm not sure of the mission count, but my Father-In-Law is in that group, out of Guam.

Of course, my point was that some actors pour themselves into the character and bad things can happen.

A sense of reality is distorted, at minimum.   If you're good at your craft.

Having a close friend by violently raped would be no different than if it happened to a family member.

It's not that quite a leap, IMO.

Charles Bronson was one of my favorites....
