>I think a lot of guys who play not so nice characters have problems outside of their acting work. I read that the black guy who was president in 24 and the current president are good buds. When they are spotted on the golf course together, people swarm the black guy with congratulations. They give the other guy evil looks.

A shame, but true. Unfornatuly there seems to be a fair number of people who can't seperate fact from fiction. Almost any TV actor will tell you that 'people see something on TV and they think it's real'.
