    Greg is such a good sport and a surprisingly compassionate person towards Tommy and many, which is rare in the industry. I honestly feel bad for Tommy and do hope that he always improves. Conveying a story believably, regardless if its physical, vocal, or both, can be incredibly difficult and even some good performers have been guilty of bad performances, even if their fans heatedly and often immaturely debate over it. I hope Greg continues to find projects that he enjoys and always improves in it. God bless!

    If he had that much money and was serious about his artistic vision. He should have hired some screenwriters as consultants. And he should have hired an actor to play him. Instead he argued against any changes to his script that he was convinced was "genius." And he played himself and wrote himself gratuitous, disgusting love scenes. He's a slime ball.

    It was not a good interview actually. The interviewer asked the same old questions, which Greg answered a million times before. The interviewer should've asked him questions about his life immediately after making the Room and get to know him a better. What did Greg do with the money Tommy gave him? Did Greg apply for more auditions. It seems a bit of a mystery what he did immediately after. He only resurfaced after The Room got huge.

    Such an interesting interview. There aren't too many screenings in Belgium (where I live), but a student group once made a Dutch theatre version of The Room and it was amazing. One aspect of that version: there wasn't one actor playing Johnny, but all actors had their own role and also took turns putting on a black wig and doing a weird accent. That in itself is comedy, but each actor took both their roles seriously, making it land in the perfect spot between love and satire where The Room shines.

    Who would have ever thought it possible that a feature length film could be *both* complete garbage and an absolutely brilliant masterpiece at the same time? It really should have won multiple Oscars, because it achieved something that shouldn't even be possible. Who else but Tommy Wiseau could have possibly pulled that off? It's quite possibly the weirdest, most absurd work of art of all time.

    The book details how Tommy was taking Greg out, wining and dining him. Gregs mother thought Tommy was an older gay man who was preying on her son. So when Tommy arrived to take Greg to the apartment, the mother actually came out to meet him and ask him to 'please not to have sex with her son'. I urge you to read the book.
