As I’ve now said on a few occasions, Robert Pattinson is a perfect case study in what a young actor should do after making it big in a franchise.

Edward Norton was, once upon a time, seen as a demanding actor who put forth incredible performances but could be hard to work with.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…some actors just always manage to please you. Seth Rogen is one such example for me.
