    “Defends” lol. Like Michael Caine defended Jaws: the Revenge.

    “I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”

    He only has control over his part, as long as people don’t specifically, and publicly blame him for the flop, he doesn’t care. As long as he keeps getting roles and getting paid, he doesn’t care.

      Umm, he was also the producer using his own production company. His control went well beyond his own role.

          My point is that he had more control than just the part he played so he should take more responsibility than “you win some, you lose some”. I don’t think people should go around defending him when he’s the reason (or if you want to be more generous, part of the reason) the movie flopped.
