MRJ: Of course, being somewhat of a public person, I have seen online bullying through social media. My friend Meghan Ory shut down her Twitter page due to too many unkind, mean-spirited (at best) comments. I think it’s awful. Many of my friends in the entertainment industry, myself included, have insanely inappropriate comments directed at us routinely.
The amount of hate that was sent to MRJ on a daily basis because of Neal was sickening.
People sometimes mistake the characters we play or the choices that our characters make as being made by ourselves in real life, or that whatever they see on-screen is actually real life and not some imaginary set of circumstances within the context of telling a story for entertainment. I suppose that’s a little bit a “part of the territory” when you’re an actor, but judgments upon your person by people who have never met you or never had any interaction with whatsoever is a little bit absurd
AKA How the ONCE fandom drove MRJ to not be upset when A and E cut him loose.
I think some people have taken the back and forth conduit of Twitter as a place for them to perhaps be involved in the direction of a story. It’s the new version of the time-honored pastime of “yelling at the screen.”
Mmmmmhmmmmm
That was a great interview. MRJ is such a thoughtful guy
