Q: Why does the whole world look up to the famous actors?
A: The “world” means all the בהמות, all the two-legged animals. Because they are all בהמות, so they look up to other בהמות. The בהמות respect the actors and entertainers, and they even give their children names after the actors. “Oooh, the actor said this, or the actor said that.” It doesn’t mean a thing to us. The actors mean absolutely nothing to us.
The truth is that actors are the lowest of the low. What does an actor do? Anybody who is an actor is false. What is he doing? He gets up and says words that he doesn’t mean, and he does all these actions that he doesn’t even intend. He’s just שקר וכזב. It’s a meshugeneh world. A world full of stupid people who look up to other stupid people!
We despise actors. We don’t care about them. We don’t care about what they say. To us, they’re the scum of the earth.

October 26, 2017 8:50 pm at 8:50 pm #1390737JJ2020ParticipantI saw a study where they listed the most trusted people in America. Many of the names were actors. I thought it was so ironic since those peoples job is to be fake. To make something fake seem real. It’s the exact opposite of truth.

That is complete hogwash and the opposite of the truth. The Satmar Rebbe labeled Rav Miller as “not from this dor but rather from a previous generation.”
And this is a quote from Rav Miller’s sefer “Loving His People” 2, #528 1:06:
“If we study two kehillas Satmar and Lubavitch. We see how beautiful are these two kehillas. Satmar is a beautiful kehilla. I had personal contact many years with Satmar. I even spoke to the Satmar Rav, the old one, zichron l’bracha. The new one I knew well, very well. But the old one I met personally once at midnight in his home. I knew many of them personally. Satmar brought a new dimension to America.
“There’s another beautiful kehilla called Lubavitch. I know them personally too. A Lubavitcher was once my rebbe when I was a boy. I learned an entire mesechta kesubos with him. For nothing. He taught me free. And so I have a love for both of these kehillas.
“Vehitzidku es ha tzadick. They are two kehillas of tzadickim. You must know that. When I say Satmar I mean all of the Satmar kehillas. All of them. I don’t mean each person is a tzadick gamur. But in general, there’s no question that their way of life is tznius. Lubavitch their way of life is tznius. Satmar they are devoted to avodas hashem. They go all out to serve Hashem. Lubavitch, all out to serve Hashem. No question about that.”
