    Have you ever watched "Huckleberry Finn" ?

    You're a bright guy; you'll cringe in embarrassment for him.
    - - Well, Archie got paid well and was probably better than you think in the role.

    Archie is one of the most advanced humans of his era and now with a rare combination of athletic intelligence and humor that kept him relevant all the way to his death.

      No! Archie was not better than I think in the role.

      I hope he was paid well. It was his name that the film was likely marketed on. The kid was a nobody and stayed a nobody.

      But, no, he was really, really bad. It was too difficult a part for an amateur, (Jim), the kid suc-ked, and the director Michael Curtize was at the end of his career, burnt out, and was phoning it in.

        I have to admit it has been a long time. I didn't say how much of Hollywood,It was just a few houses actually.
