Nice to see him appearing in another action flick. He also still tries to get that Hannibal project off the ground.

I didn't see "Die" on that list...

I thought he was starring in "Coming out of the Closet: 7 YEARS TOO LATE"

apparently hes one of the few male actors who actually want to come out regardless of its affect on their career, but his lawyers are keeping him on a nuzzle.
