Eric Roberts, Video Pimp


We interrupt the typical pervesion for the following rant:

Okay. When in the hell did Eric Roberts morph from "Julia Robert's brother" to "The Guy Who Was Pretty Good in that Movie with Mickey Rourke" to "Working at the Ponderosa Steak House in Santa Monica" to "Creepy White Guy in Several Music Videos"?

Dude's in the video for The Killers' "Mr. Brightside" where he's supposed to be either the Devil or a Pimp. I can't really tell. Also, he eats a lot of apples. He can also be seen in the video for the latest Mariah Carey song, which I can't be bothered to learn the name of, because it's Mariah Carey, goddam it, and I just don't give a shit and I don't care how nice her arse is, her face is just way too "horsey" for me.

Anyways, bravo to Mr. Roberts for proving once again that time-honored equation "unemployable actor" + "music video" + "pimp" = "[that hand gesture where you extend your pinky and your thumb and do a kinda "hang ten" thing.]"
