I don't think it really matters what actors do when they're not acting. I mean that's what they're paid to do, pretend to be someone they're not. As long as the actor isn't telling their fans to 'do drugs' or attack little old ladies I think it's their own buisness what they do in their private (or not so private with the media sneaking around) lives.   |

Is he Michael London's son? And to answer your question... I don't think alot of the actors or actresses are what many of us would like them to be. I think they will do just about anything for publicity.  |

tough one. i think, if it is affecting his ability to do his job (act), then, yes, he should be kicked off. if it isn't affecting their work, then let them have a private life  |

Interesting. I never heard of that. Guess I'd have to know what all it was he was arrested for to form an opinion. (IE did he have just a very small amount...or a bag full?) I do not however feel that celebs should be treated differently than any common joe...so if it was something severe enough to put the 'common joe' in jail or enough to be fired...then yes I feel he should be repremanded.....Man that's such a bummer to cause I'm a 7th heaven freak..  |

Here's a link for the story, http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,13963,00.html It was less than an ounce. And I agree if it is something that someone else in a regular job would get fired then they should get fired, I didn't see it that way at all, that's a good arguement. |

Gazza, it seems to me to be really minor, it was less than an ounce, but if he were a bus driver or something like that I wouldn't want him to drive my bus, but if he had got cleaned up and it was proven via drug tests, then sure he could drive my bus |

Personal life is personl life period. I have argued myself hoarse and blue in the face over this. What a person does inhis or her own life is their business yeas if it is against the law if caught the should face the legal consquences. But it has nothing at all to do with the roles they play. I have an on going battle with some of the people at NPR and Fox news about this issue  |

Me too Emi, the only thing I'd think differently about is what Victor Salva did, but that's the only thing I think differently on. He's a director that molested young boys and got away with it. |

I had recently joined a comitte to stop stuff like what is happening to Jeremy London This is the first active case I have been part of I have been emailing media outlets and such about the fact that a role is a role and the person playing it is an actor not the actual person in said role nor does he or sheas the case may be claim to be. They are only doing a job and as long as their actions do not adversly and directly effect their work petitons like thes should be consider personal attacks and not worthy of being promoted or printed |

Hello, B.Monkey If I hear or read about them doing drugs, or some other kind of outrageous behavior, then more than likely the stigma will remain and every time that I see them performing, I'll think.."Oh yeah...I know about that one!"...Not that it would really bother me, but it'd be hard not to remember. (if that makes any sense)..hehe..Write on......Oh, the question...hehe...I think if he could still do a good job on the show, then "No" he shouldn't be kicked-off. But if he gets busted for heroin next week, then "yes," he's got a problem and should be given a time out..hehe..Oh Lordy..  |

All I could think was, that he is doing a job, I don't think that someone is going to do wrong just because the actor did. And this is something that isn't right. EVERYTHING they do is put to print, I feel if I had a drug violation the other day then they should paste my mug somewhere too, it's not fair. I don't even pretend to know anything about these people's personal lives, and you know something I shouldn't know anything about their lives, some things should be private and as long as he is not hurting anyone he should be able to continue to portray his character |

But of course Monkey Another case of people believeing an actor or actress should actually be the "person" they play. How sad. People need to learn to understand the difference between the actor and the role he plays.... We can't expect a person to cahnge their life based on the roles they chose to play |

I've never watched that show cause I don't gots a satalite. and I think the actors personal life is the audiances business. they should pay more attenton to the show, his character. not his personal life. I mean doesn't he want privacy?

I really don't think it should affect the show for the most part. They are not their charactors. If they were it wouldn't be called acting.  |

How they behave in real life doesn't really reflect on how much I assess their acting ability. For example, I think Russell Crowe is a fantastic actor, but as a person he sort of a jack...well you can finish that one. In other words, it does affect how I see them as an individual.  |

I think that their personal life away from the screen/stage is their own business, the trouble is the media tries to make it everyones business by printing what they do away from their roles, I must admit that I have been guilty also of looking at an actor or actress in a much different light after reading of drug abuse or whatever seems to be against the role they portray, but it doesn't deter me from watching any show or movie or whatever they are in...we are after all only human and will continue to make humanly mistakes in our lives ...good post Ginny....hugs  |

Actors/actresses are only worthwhile if they attract audiences. It's a job, plain and simple. The show is on for the entertainment of the audience. If someone you didnt like was on a TV programme, you'd want them off, taking it as your right as a viewer. IMO if enough of the audience want him gone, he should go, and if not, just ignore it.  |
