Ricky Gervais and hollywood.

Perfectly seasoned, practiced and trained, Precise right down to the letter, Every word they speak, all clothes they wear, Show life couldn’t be any better, The detective’s astute, never missing a beat, The architect is handsome and smart, And every single, primary school teacher, Has a noble and sensitive heart, But that’s only while they’re in front of the film, When they don’t make a mistake, What they don’t say is when the filming stops, They don’t say that it’s totally fake, Yep, pretend, an act, it’s all make believe, The office is a pic on the wall, And experience is read from a cue card in front, The actors don’t know much at all.

LOL, Lewis! Some actors are better than others, practicing their craft instead of politics and crime.

Very true... many people think life is like the movies until reality hits them sadly those Hollywood people are way too far from such reality. They’re in their own world and the rest of us are here (real world)... What Gervais said was entertaining for us but not so much for them...well written
