I found out about Keith David from my years of gaming. The Arbiter, Sergeant Foley, Captain Anderson to name a few characters he voiced. Love this for him
He also took over as Zavala in destiny last year after lance reddik died, and has done a fantastic job. Loved him in the thing back in the day too, but he’ll always be Goliath (gargoyles) to me
Was lucky enough to wait on him and his family a few times at an old job. He was such a warm and friendly person, also was willing and seemed to enjoy talking about his work. He even remembered my name after a couple of visits. Always love to see him getting the recognition he deserves. Man has the voice of a god.
Yeah, the HH song really drove it home just how talented he is. Plus it's catchy as hell (ha). And Princess and the Frog was one of the last great animated villain songs. His voice work is solid, his musical work is stellar.
They are awarded. It's not open to just anyone with the money just because there is an associated fee. There is a nomination process and only 20-30 people are selected each year. The "award" part is the opportunity to have a star in the first place. Think of it like getting into Harvard or some other elite University, you have to get selected before paying tuition, and since most nominees have their nominator pay the fees anyway they effectively get selected under scholarship in this analogy
VERY long WP Filmography list. But minimum requirements are generally "5 yrs in entertainment, awards or nominations, philanthropic work, and 85K for someone to pay for installation & maintenance”
While celebrities don't buy their stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, they or their sponsors are responsible for a fee to cover the costs associated with the star's creation, installation, and ongoing maintenance. This fee is currently $50,000, according to Visit California and Wikipedia. The money also contributes to the star's dedication ceremony and upkeep of the Walk of Fame.
How about you learn a little bit instead of just vomiting bullshit your bro told you.
"There's a fee, it's not bought. Somebody paid money for this, but it's not a purchase!"
That's what you said, dude. Why don't you learn a little bit of how English concepts work a lit bit instead of just vomiting bullshit you came up with based on your own prejudices and biases about capitalism and the "free market"
Thats not true. Before becoming a populist nightmare he was a relatively popular gameshow host and tv personality. Thats actually his whole brand, he portrays a successful no nonsense businessman and people love it.
It is not.. I forget who it is but there was an actor who was awarded one without having the money. But since you have to pay to have it installed, he couldn't get it installed. Someone else eventually raised the money. You can call that buying if you want, but if that's the case then you might as well say me driving to pick up an award where I had to pay the gas to drive. There means the award was bought. You completely erase the earning from the picture when you frame it that way.
From what I read, there is a whole nomination process. Even if they have to pay it later, "bought" is also not accurate, as I can't have one even if I had the money.
Ok, go and ask to buy one and see what happens. The nomination and awards is only extended to a few dozen people a year. The fact that they (or usually the film studio etc nominating them) pays a fee if they are selected doesn't suddenly mean you can just show up with cash and get one
Lol if myself or my "sponsors" are responsible for a fee to cover the costs associated with the cars creation, delivery, and ongoing maintenance then yes that's like the literal definition of "bought".
no, you can absolutely can just roll up and buy one. They act like you can, the mass of C tier or lower names on their shows they lie to keep an exclusive image.
Not sure anybody did but if you go by his career he technically did acting, he was in several movies, TV commercials for different companies and even had his own TV show. Still a pos but meets the criteria

The attitude is a bit much. I'd tone it down. Maybe go take a walk, get away from the keyboard for a bit. It's bad for your blood pressure.

So, if someone gave you a nice car. And you were expected for upkeep. That is bought to you?

I still get the car if I don't pay for upkeep? Just drive it into the gound.

They're both. You can't just roll up and buy one. They have to want to award it to you first, and then you have to agree to pay some associated costs.
