I’ve seen his movies, and i had no idea he was such a colossol tool behind the scenes. I suspect a lot of other people didn’t know either.

But, on the flip side, back in the day, I think you could get away with a lot more without the media crucified you for it.

Some of his best characters were also perfectly suited to him in hindsight. Spies like us where he was the charming but sleazy face man and Dan Akroyd was a tech nerd, Caddyshack where he was the cocky upstart golf pro…

Man was acting but not by much.

Imagine thinking of being held extremely mildly accountable for your shitty actions as “getting crucified”.
