Who the fuck is Robert Davi!?
He was mentioned as one of the "celebrities" in attendance at the RNC. I thought they said Robert Downey, and my crush deflated a little...Actually, Robert Downey is not in attendance but actor Robert Davi is. A spokesperson corrected it after it was reported it, saying that it was not Robert Downey, but Robert Davi. Boy was I relieved.

My crush on Mr. Downey remains intact.

I haven't seen Iron Man yet, and now I can see it without vomiting. :)

Now I am just trying to figure out who the hell Robert Davi is. Anyone? Is this the best they could do? They were also excited about John Voight. LOL.

6. And I still don't know who the hell he is.
I don't think I have seen anything on that list.

I guess he is so super-A-List the Rethugs are keeping him to themselves.

17. hmmmm....
Sounds like a winner.

I googled pictures of Robert Downey jnr just to drool at my momentarily departed crush and he seems to have grown a moustache. eek!

They probably left the report that he was there because unlike the other folks they mentioned, he is an actual working actor, lol.

14. Heh heh

Yea, it's Michael Gross, but I knew no one would know who he is.

He was actually excellent as the Liberal hippie dad of a Conservative kid (who was the real Liberal Michael J Fox).

27. I thought Micheal Gross was a Democrat. In fact, I'm sure of it.
I remember seeing his name tied to several Democratic fundraisers in the past. He might be one of those "Dems for McCain" types (like the wife from McMillan and Wife).

11. Actually, he's a good actor. I am dissapointed.
Probably his most notable role was as the main James Bond villian in License To Kill.

He was also in The Goonies.

25. One of my favorite Bond films
I think Timothy Dalton was a very underrated Bond. There, I said it.

21. Is a bunch of "has-beens" the best they could come up with?
Now I know why Angelina didn't talk to her father for so long. I'm surprised about Michael Gross though. Just goes to show he must have been a good actor (in his time).
