Stephen Baldwin may not have a career that many actors aspire to but the second most famous Baldwin brother does have some career advice for Angus T. Jones.
Well, it’s actually life advice.
Jones recently said in a religious video that his show Two And A Half Men was filth and that fans of the show should stop watching. Jones has apologized for his statements but Baldwin is encouraging the young man to stick to his beliefs. Baldwin said that he’s missed out on several acting opportunities due to his religious beliefs but encouraged Jones to continue on his “tru walk of Christianity.
Baldwin said:
“As a Christian, I had a casting director come up to me two years ago and say, ‘I’m really sorry because I’ve brought your name up in castings for a while now and they all just kind of look at me like I’m crazy …’ It just sounds like Angus is having an authentic experience with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s a serious thing. A real, true walk of Christianity is very difficult, quite radical. It seems to me he was a young man when he started and now he’s kind of come into his own and he’s connected with his pastor.”
Jones apologized to the show’s creator Chuck Lorre saying that he didn’t mean to offend any of his colleagues. Baldwin believes that Jones meant what he said in the religious video but admitted that it may not have come out the way that Jones intended.
Baldwin said:
“I think he knows exactly what he’s doing. Again, he meant to probably have it come out differently. He didn’t want to offend [show creator] Chuck Lorre or any of the people from the show or be disrespectful, but I think he authentically means what he says where he finds now if you hold up the content of his show to the Bible, what he’s saying is, ‘Now there’s a conflict for me.’”
Baldwin, who is heading to Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice, advised Jones to continue working hard on Two And A Half Men until the end of the season and then to find a new path.
Baldwin said:
“He’s in the last season of the show. I think he’s being very respectful now,” Baldwin said. “I think he ought to walk his walk and stand up for what he believes in and finish out the season and go about his business. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. He didn’t mean to sound the way he did but I still think it’s admirable that he’s sticking up for what he believes in.”
What do you think of Stephen Baldwin’s advice? Should Angus T. Jones find more morally conscience roles in the future?
