Don\u2019t you like actors when they are multi-dimensional? It must be much more fun to be able to write a novel when they don\u2019t have to pay the bills with its sales.\u00a0 Sure, they would love to have many readers. What author doesn\u2019t? But art is much more fun when you don\u2019t have to worry about selling it. I did talk about actors making music before:<\/p>\n

* Kevin Bacon\u00a0 and Keanu Reeves<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

* Shane West<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

* Bruce Willis and John Travolta<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

* Hugh Laurie and Band from TV<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, it is time for novels and poetry:<\/p>\n

Ethan Hawke<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Ethan<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>
Ethan Hawke writes,directs and stars in movies. Plus, he writes novels. Gotta appreciate a multi-talented actor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, we know Ethan Hawke<\/a> is no stranger to writing scripts and we do love what he did with Julie Delpy and Richard Linklater, co-writing Before Sunset<\/a> (The sequel to the amazing romantic film Before Sunrise<\/a>). But he also writes\u00a0 novels. His first novel is The Hottest State<\/a>. He later directed this into a movie of the same name in 2006. He also wrote the script and has a small but an important role in the film. Not an amazing film, but pretty good in all standards and I do love a multi-tasking actor.<\/p>\n

His second novel was released in 2002 and it is called \u201cAsh Wednesday: A novel\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Hugh Laurie<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Hugh<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>
Hugh Laurie is just superb as Gregory House, speaking in such a great American accent that even fooled the producers. I love this guy. And he is a writer too! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to being a terrific actor, both comedic and dramatic, he is an apt musician. But as if talent and the British charm isn\u2019t enough, Hugh Laurie<\/a> is a writer too. His first novel The Gun Seller<\/a> was a critically acclaimed crime novel. Another one called The Paper Soldier is on the way. Don\u2019t you just love Hugh?<\/p>\n

Viggo Mortensen<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Viggo<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>
OK, you caught me. I am not the biggest fan of the Middle-earth and its creatures. But I have always loved a smart,strong fighter. I just can't believe they almost had another actor playing Aragorn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first saw Viggo in a hugely underrated TV movie called Vanishing Point. It is fast, fun and interesting. Then I watched A Perfect Murder<\/a> with Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow, where he played Gwyneth\u2019s lover<\/a>. The movie was a good remake and he does make a good bohemian artist with some shady intentions. So by the time he was Aragorn in Lord of the Rings, I was already a fan. But when I dug deeper into his history, I realized the guy was even more interesting than I gave him credit for. I\u2019ll get into the details later but let\u2019s just say that he writes poetry and does own a publishing house. Damn, the guy is hardworking.<\/p>\n

I love all three actors and I have to admit I haven’t gotten to read their works. Yet. But I’ll. I just hope I have half the luck and talent these guys have…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
