In the meantime, Robert DeNiro as a glory seeking cop, has been tied to a chair and not treated too nicely by the out of control pair. Grammer also shied away from implicating any existing TV personality as a model for the villain he plays, even though he suggested that Hawkins may be somewhat of a mixture of Tom Brokaw and Jerry Springer. I really drew on a kind of general impression of everyone, at least in the position of an anchorman from the most respected to the least. As for his own personal feelings about being a pretty famous guy, Grammer was a little more emphatic. The idea of life in the public eye is sort of surreal.
Fame seems like a good word, but it actually is a four letter word.
The right to privacy once you re in the public eye, you just don t have it anymore. It does take a real toll, mostly on the people you really care about, rather than yourself. But there were no clear damages, you have no recourse. That to me is almost criminal. The 15 Minutes director John Herzfeld was just as preoccupied with such celebrity issues as with the casual acceptance of violence today, and how it also turns into a means to an end in gaining fame.
