My strong-willed, highly intelligent and accomplished daughters would pass out from laughter at any young man who copped this attitude. What the actual hell?

Sign me up! (For a booster.)

Yeah, but his greatest role was as an editorial assistant in the AP’s LA bureau. He could have been a heck of a wire service reporter. Instead he wasted his time acting. A shame.
