Woods Hits Out At Ambitious Stars
Hollywood star James Woods has hit out at fellow actors for stepping outside of their type-casted roles - insisting they should stop being something they are not.
The SHARK star believes actors should only perform what they're known for, and be happy with the millions of dollars they earn in the process.
He says, "Jim Carrey keeps wanting to do drama. I say shut up and just do comedy, make $100 million and relax. Actors always want to be the thing they are not.
"People ask why Julia Roberts is such a big star. It's because she's pretty and she smiles. That's kind of a simplistic assessment, but it made her $100 million in the process."
