Gregg Chabot @greggchabot.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Twins (played by the same actor) have always been a pet peeve. They annoy me to hell onscreen because it always reeks of gimmickry.

Gregg Chabot @greggchabot.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Cruise is a savvy reader with great taste who can distinguish a good screenplay from a bad one. Give him 100 scripts and he'll identify the two that shine. This skill (among actors) is more uncommon than you think. 060
