Apparently Mr. Gross thinks there's more to the arts than money (which I gather is one reason why he spoke in front of the Senate to talk about it). It's nice to know there are people with this kind of talent and popularity who still stay true to their principles. If that's whining there needs to be more of it.

He is such an eloquent speaker.

Thanks for posting these bits! Wonderful and very informative!f

Mr Gross.... can I work with/for you sometime?!?! ;-)

[oliviatocali]

Very true. His other projects are very promising :)

I love due South, I really do, but I'll have to disagree with you here. Slings & Arrows is quite possibly the best television ever filmed. YMMV, of course. Apparently most reviewers think so, too, since I've yet to find a single negative review.

[primroseburrows]

I think it would be a good idea if he wanted to do it, although it seems like he's busy doing other things these days (which is a GOOD thing, btw). :)
