Courage of his convictions

[Joe Williams]

Gotta admire a man who has the courage to stand by his beliefs. It's sometimes a rare thing to find. Gotta a TV network that would fire a man who they KNEW had these beliefs, hired him anyway, then tried to make him violate them.

Honestly don't know any of this dude's work, haven't watched any of the shows mentioned. Still liked the story.

He played Lt. Buck Compton in Band of Brothers, an awesome HBO mini series created and produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. If you've never seen it, I highly recommend it.

It does take courage to stand behind your convictions. The promise of money and a job has made others change their convictions, so it's nice to see someone say no.

Nice find.

Well, good for him. He just rose a few notches in my respect-o-meter!

That rocks!

On a side note, he was the one convincing actor in The Guardian.

The older brother in Growing Pains(Kirk Cameron I believe) is the same way.

He won't even kiss a woman...But IIRC, his wife also does some acting and he's kissed her on screen.

MAybe he can counsell Tiger and Jesse James

Meh, he has no problem playing the part of a murdering sociopath, but wont perform in a love scene?

He sounds like an attention whore.

I liked his work in Band of Brothers.

When playing a murdering sociopath, he wasn't actually murdering folks. Enough said.

I read this in the news today. If he actually is a man of principle, I applaud him (pun intentional)!

Of course not. But there's more going on than just looking. Enough said.

What's with the "enough said"? Do you expect that having said that, the discussion is over?

They are professional actors, and its a TV love scene, not something rated R.

Grow up and get over the sight of someone having sex. Our country gets more worked up over adults having sex than they do with murder. That's what I find sad.

It doesn't matter what his "line" is, he drew it and now he's living by it. My line isn't his line.

You forgot a key phrase at the end of your post.

We allow our children to play cops and robbers, believing that they will not grow to be criminals; it's just fun and games. I don't know anyone who would allow their children to lip-lock, with the same understanding. We know that when little Timmy's hormones get to flowing, there is no getting him back.

Intimacy and sex are different because of our hormones and easy-to-please senses. It may sound silly, but I agree with him. It's better to go in with the understanding that something "could" happen, rather than risk his integrity and get caught up in adultery.

While I completely see what you're saying, it should be a moot point to a good, Christian man with lots of integrity.

This started out as a nice thread. I don't see this ending well.
