The DP is a high ranking person on a set.... there is no need for other crew members to step up to Mr. Bale... the DP can handle himself...
now you are blaming the crew....![]()
and the entire industry??
Scratch your chin all you want, but I would NEVER, EVER stand by silently while a co-worker threatened to kick the a-- of another coworker while he was simultaneously screaming profanities at him. I simply would not stand there and watch that and NOT say a word. And I would expect those in charge to speak up and put a stop to it immediately, and discipline (or fire) those who acted in such a way. He threatened to BEAT THE GUY UP! Did you listen to the tape? Are YOU allowed to act like that in the workplace? Is anyone? I realize this is Hollywood, so the rules are clearly different, but this disturbed actor's behavior in the workplace is simply indefensible as is the behavior of his cowardly colleagues.
That's about all the inclination I have to discuss Hollywood today.
