British actor Laurence Fox calls Meghan and Harry ultra woke hypocrites

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I remember reading an article not long ago talking about the fact that more and more UK actors are coming from posh, wealthy backgrounds, because arts education funding keeps getting cut (among other reasons) and working/middle class people are increasingly being shut out of the profession. Laurence Fox, who was handed a career thanks to his esteemed and successful family, was interviewed for it and basically said, too fucking bad.

Fuck that guy.

But JOANNA DAVID is married to EDWARD FOX, not JAMES FOX.. Hence, she is Laurence's aunt, not his mother.

EMILIA FOX is the daughter of EDWARD FOX and JOANNA DAVID.

The Fox family is a dynasty going back 50 years to Samson Fox (1838 –1903) who donated most of the cost of building the Royal College of Music in London. It includes— James Fox who's appeared in movies since 1952!.

Edward Fox who was handsome in the 80s but seems to be a doddering eccentric now.

The RAPACIOUS Celestia Fox who has a nepotistic stranglehold on casting the important films and all the Merchant-Ivory films.

[quote]Being a movie star is NOT a basic Human Right.

Absolutely no one is saying it is - way to misrepresent the situation. The UK has a long tradition of gifted actors who came from working-class or poor backgrounds, and whose opportunities to get training and enter the profession came through state-supported arts education and funding, theatres, scholarships, etc. Now with those being cut and the cost of living in or near London where all this is based being astronomical, more and more of those people are being shut out of even the possibility of becoming an actor...while wealthy and connected twats basically take over the profession by sheer economics. It's a bad thing for the arts as well as for human potential.

That "long tradition" started in the 1960s when British theatre came under the influence of scabby Joan Littlewood, Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel, below). They loved 'Alienation Theatre' and Theatre of the Ridiculous'.

The UK audience soon grew tired of it all and stayed away in droves.

How can Piper be “one of the most respected theatre actors” when she doesn’t even consistently do theatre and barely appears on stage? She’s almost 40 and she’s only done ca. 5 (!) plays in her whole lifetime career. Her theatre career can be counted on one hand. She’s worked more as a TV actress and is therefore more known for that.

Someone like Mark Rylance, who’s been part of the RSC and practically lived on stage, is “one of the most respected actors of his generation”.

Please, I bet most of you don’t even live in London and have never seen Piper onstage.

She has not done one “flash in the pan” performance, what rot. Yerma was one of the definitive acting performances of the decade, and hardly her only stage role. Her role in my friend’s play The Effect was also extraordinary.

Besides “of her generation” implies relative youth. Rylance (who I have had the privilege of receiving what amounts to a private acting performance from) is not a fair comparison has he’s old enough to be her father and has had time to build up a more substantial body of work.

True story:

When I used to go clubbing in 2000 there was a 17 year old super skinny twink who used to get into the clubs with fake ID. He'd never drink but would dance and drive home. We got chatting one night and he went to the same school as me. He was obsessed with Billie Piper and would make Billie tribute tshirts to wear. He also hated Kylie and anything related to Kylie, who had just released Spinning Around and Billie was on her second album with Day And Night.

Fast forward to 2001 and Kyle was touring with On A Night Like This tour. I had seats at the back of the arena and during her debut of Can't Get You Out Of My Head one of my friends walked past on his way to the toilet and gave me his ticket to his third row seat and said I could watch 3 songs from his seat. So I minced through security and got to see Your Disco Needs You in its full glory. I noticed a guy going mad in the front row and it was Billie Twink. I reached over and got his attention and shouted "But you hated Kylie? I thought you loved Billie Piper" and he replied "Billie who?" and carried on dancing in his home made Kylie tshirt.

This guy is now in his late 30s and on Grindr permanently. Balding, stocky, hairy, versatile but not into total bottoms.

Anyway, Laurence Fox is an arsehole.

Quit being presumptuous, R54. Many DLers live in London. But, sure, go on thinking you’re the only ‘West End Theat-AH queen’ here :).

[quote] She has not done one “flash in the pan” performance, what rot. Yerma was one of the definitive acting performances of the decade and hardly her only stage role.

Oh, please. So “definitive” that many theatre-goers don’t even know who this “definitive thespian” is - the general audience only remember her from that geeky TV show. And you know why? Because she’s BARELY ever on stage. I don’t think she’s even set foot on the London stage in the last 2 years (except for a short 1-month stint in NYC). And before that she’d have 2- or even 4-year breaks when she wouldn’t perform. For “one of the greatest stage Thespians of her generation”, she sure doesn’t seem keen on actually working on stage much, lol.

And no one said it was her “only stage role” - it was one of her only ca. 5 stage roles by the ripe age of 37. Wow, what a “repertoire”.

[quote] Besides “of her generation” implies relative youth. Rylance … is not a fair comparison has he’s old enough to be her father and has had time to build up a more substantial body of work.

“Of her generation” does not imply “youth”. Piper is pushing 40 - that’s hardly “young”. She’s about Tom Hiddleston’s age, they’re peers. Are you going to call his receding hairline “young” too? :)

And Rylance is a completely fair comparison. By his late 30s, Rylance had already accrued a long, diverse list of theatre roles. Because he’s exactly a “definitive” theatre actor. Whereas Piper might be great in a few plays - but she’s more flash-in-the-pan because she doesn’t appear keen on actually working on the stage that much. Her first and last sweeping stage success was half a decade ago with Yerma, and she hasn’t undertaken any new stage roles since.

[quote] Her role in MY FRIEND’s play The Effect […] Rylance (who I have had the privilege of receiving what amounts to a PRIVATE acting performance from)

Well, smell her :). Yes, yes, Mary, we get it. You know people who know people. But unless you had the “privilege of receiving what amounts to a private performance” of Rylance’s cock, no one here cares.
