Many people want those things but they don't necessarily resort to such risky and criminal behavior.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't surprised at all to learn about the bad stuff he did. It fits with the rest of his accomplishments. <BR/><BR/>Of course it's that very behavior that made him ideal for Hollywood. <BR/><BR/>Hope you're feeling better.
