I like him as an actor. He was easily the best part of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes. While I have no problem with him making his opinion known, I disliked that he had to do it when and where he did. It was a Toys For Tots gathering. I hate when people just HAVE to bring those type of comments at any possible time, whether it's appropriate or relevant...
