Yeah Victor doesn't even like to offer his women seats on the Newman Enterprises Board! Much less a lifeboat.
So much for chivalry.

Agreed. I don't know of anyone who went to see Ghost Rider to watch Cage's performances. Well, for that matter, I don't know of anyone who see to see Ghost Rider at all.
Haha, Akash.

James Franco was in Knocked Up? Um, where?
He played himself in an interview I believe.

Oh I know Cam, it would have just been very "Victor Newman" to do the opposite -- bully everyone into getting his way.

I love Cage in Moonstruck.

I was hoping when the ship started to sink he would demand a spot on a lifeboat all, "I'm getting on that lifeboat, YA GOT THAT??" Or that he would call Leo, "my boy."

Ha ha! I love it! He's also got his requisite trophy wife which is just so Victor-like.

Eric Braeden a prima donna? I never would have guessed.
And I guess I don't remember John Jacob Astor in the film. I guess I need to re-watch Titanic for the umpteenth time.

Yeah, he played John Jacob Astor; he was reportedly unhappy that scenes of his were cut.
