Actors Who Do Good Things To Make The World A Better Place

When I covered the Super Bowl I found out that Professional
Football Players do a Lot of Good In The World - and I wanted
to tell about actors who do the same.

And I know there are LOTS OF THEM.

Like:

Brad Pitt - New Orleans

Sean Penn - Haiti

Leonardo DiCaprio - who is extremely Environment-Conscious

Bill Maher - Who Last Thursday Night Donated One Million Dollars
To President Obama's PAC


But in trying to research this subject - I found it was not as
easy as I thought it would be - so I decided to give it a different
twist - by just listing MOVIES in which I thought good things were
done - in one way or another. Now you are going to lose the thread
here - I know I did - and sure I slipped in a few of my faves - but
hey - it's my Blog.

It is really amazing how well one must know oneself to be able to answer some such question like you have asked here ... i make every sincere effort but am unable to do so.

Hmm.

Hi nicrap - Another some such question I frequently ask myself is:

Is it Really worth it?

Is it the pain?

And the answer I always come up with is - Yes it is.

Of course 'tis, ma'am. Worth is what we give to it... :)

I heard Someone say in a recent AC Interview:

'I try as hard as I can and then I quit.'

Well I am trying as Hard as I can -nicrap - only I'm not gonna Quit.

Because of Worth - in every sense of The Word.

Have a Great Day - nicrap.
