Hi Garrett.
I may be way off the mark here,but I think that Meat probibily finds it quite hard to get offers for really good staring rolls,because most people insist on catogorising him as a rock singer and don't think of him as anything more.

.It's very unfair because Meat really can act,but since when has Meat had an easy ride.
On the last promo tour Meat has talked about Fight Club in every interview i've seen/litened too.He's also talked about the way that he started out as an actor.Again,I may be wrong,but I think he is sending a message to the public and the movie guys that he can do it,and that he HAS done it.
Also I believe that Meat is very selective of the projects he takes on.In an interview recently (help me out here guys)he said that if he is offerd a role where he imediatly identifies with the charachter,he turns it down.He wants a challenge and a chance to flex his acting muscles.
All this said,he's not doing too bad.He's made a lot of movies in the past few years.But I agree that it would be nice to see him in bigger rolls.
