I think Ramat means he is an entertainer rather than an actor (who hides his true self and presents a picture of a character to the public). Savage, though he changed his name, talks about himself quite frequently. But this thread is supposed to be about the effect of Hollywood on society. Many have commented on people superficially copying the mannerisms and lines of actors, but don’t we really learn more from the actions and attitudes as evidenced by the lifechoices of others? This is where the celebrity culture is so destructive. People who are looked up to with respect because of their wit or looks or strength have been exposed as lowlives in the extreme; druggies, torturers of animals and children, misogynists and yet they don’t lose out they go right back in many cases to their status and continue film-making or quarterbacking or acting/singing or whatever, this is kind of frightening don’t you agree?
