Oh come on, guys! He’s an acting trader, anyway, that did his homework good (playing script that he DIDN’T WRITE, remember) and after years of disappereance he became in sight of the whole world, all of a sudden, with THREE BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES, took in 2 years and promoted all together in the whole 2008, with 3 boys, a divorce and all the stess connected… Probably it’s all connected, and a kid star coming from George of The jungle cannot manage that easily. Look his old interviews, from mummy too… he was never this way! Never! Any of you, any of us, in front of an enourmous stress like the one he’s been throught in 2007-2008, would have be taking something stronger than coffee to handle with all that. YOU KNOW WE’D DO. An his important rule is with us, the fans, not the press, and with us he’s famous to be sweet always. And stop talking about his hair, for god’s sake… what kinda persons you are? Don’t you all expect to grow older? Get the boy some break. Watch some interview on the tube, and watch what sorta journalist he has to front every time, and rest nicely even if anyone would have been screaming “whatta hell dya wanna from me? Movies or clowning?”

Oh, and anyone who’s seen Gods and Monsters or School Ties knows that Brendan can indeed act quite well. He’s actually got one of the more diverse careers in Hollywood. Think about it, he’s done indie films (Gods and Monsters, Crash), drama (School Ties, With Honors), offbeat films (Monkeybone), romantic comedies (Blast from the Past, Mrs. Winterbourne), comedies (Encino Man, Airheads), Kids films (George of the Jungle, Dudley Do Right), big budget action adventure (The Mummy movies)… he’s pretty much done it all. I for one think he’s an underrated actor.

C’mon guys, cut the dude some slack. I saw him in person a few days ago and he was perfectly fine, perfectly coherent, and despite being incredibly tired from being run ragged doing press for the new releases, he was actually very sweet, genuine, and humble, as well as self deprecating (I got the opportunity to talk to him – it seems he gets slightly uncomfortable answering questions to big crowds/interviewers, but when he talks to his fans or one on one he’s a different person.) He might be a bit quirky, but he’s a good guy. Every single person I’ve talked to that has met him in person has said the same thing.

I was at that panel and I think that Brendan was high…..maybe off of his own hair products…….

I would agree with Karen above if this was ten years ago that he was at Wondercon, but nowadays bigger celebrities are showing up all the time at the two California comic-cons to promote their films. Edward Norton, Gerard Butler, Hilary Swank, etc. in person. Even Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford have done via sattellite blab for their upcoming film.

Anyway, Brendan’s weird rambling wasn’t helped by his freaky hairdo/hairplugs (?) he had going on either…. Hopefully he’ll get it together.

Yeah, I can buy the “WonderCon is really just a great excuse to get drunk. At 10am.”

C’mon, Nathan. We both know he’s not that good of an actor. He was genuinely either a) naturally not that bright or 2) drugged up.

Of course, Karen cites a perfectly believable third possible scenario.

Perhaps before facing the crowd of nerds and geeks who he knew were going to ask him a bunch of obnoxious stupid questions, he sat crying in the back room drinking Jose Cuervo straight from the bottle until his poorly recompensed appearance at WonderCon was called. I mean, you gotta feel for the guy. WonderCon? I had great hopes for that man.

I wonder if these bizarre “star” performances are really just a product of being at WonderCon in the first place. That is, maybe these guys go back home and tell stories about their crazy antics in front of the geek crowd.
