In a bid to escape exile in Crete, Icarus uses wings made from wax and feathers made by his father, the Athenian master craftsman Daedalus. But the sin of hubris causes him to pay no heed to his father’s warnings. He fl ies too close to the sun, so burning his wings, and falls into the Tsea and drowns. The parable is often used to highlight the perils of pride and the reckless, impulsive behaviour that it fosters. The frontier nature of celebrity culture perpetuates and enlarges narcissistic characteristics in stars and stargazers. Impulsive behaviour and recklessness are commonplace. They fi gure prominently in the entertainment pages and gossip columns of newspapers and magazines, prompting commentators to conjecture about the contagious effects of celebrity culture upon personal health and the social fabric. Do celebrities sometimes get too big for their boots and get involved in social and political issues that are beyond their competence? Can one posit an Icarus complex in some types of celebrity behaviour? This chapter addresses these questions by examining celanthropy and its discontents (notably Madonna’s controversial adoption of two Malawi children); celebrity health advice (Tom Cruise and Scientology); and celebrity pranks (the Sachsgate phone calls involving Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross).

  • Actors Anonymous of Legion the Watching from Thrill Different a Be Will That Me, for But, Audience
    NOTES FROM THE DREAM FACTORY BY TOM ROSTON he first met when they were both in the 2002 Broadway play Burn This. And although we’re talking about Burrell, Norton might as well be speaking about his own brilliant debut in 1996’s Primal Fear, when he, seemingly out of nowhere, rocketed to recognition. “It is a very particular kind of excitement,” he says. “There is no sense of the artifice. That’s what’s really thrilling.” I am always hoping for pure moments when I watch a movie: those times when my disbelief is so entirely suspended that I forget that I’m watching one. Going into a theater, I often feel overwhelmed with baggage—who the main actor slept with last week, how the director mortgaged his house to get the movie made, and how the production designer only used three shades of green on the set. It even bugs me that once I like a director or an actor, I expect something from him or her, and so the work has an added layer of self-consciousness. When the lights go down, it’s hard to wash the slate entirely clean and just watch. That’s why my eyes tend to drift toward the margins for something surprising. And, often, I see it in an actor whom I know nothing about, and who brings something deeper and richer to his character even though he may have just two minutes of screen time. This may seem random (and that’s the point), but do you remember in the Will Smith movie Hitch, which I just caught on DVD, that there’s this misogynist asshole who is, well, such an asshole? Actor Jeffrey Donovan gets it just right.

  • Doug Robinson Podcast Transcript
    This transcript was exported on Jul 13, 2020 - view latest version here. John Boccacino: Hello, and welcome back to the 'Cuse Conversations Podcast. My name is John Boccacino, the communication specialist in Syracuse University's Office of Alumni Engagement. I'm also a 2003 graduate of the SI New House School of Public Communications, with a degree in broadcast journalism. I am so glad you found our podcast. From an early age, Doug Robinson envisioned a career in the entertainment industry, preferably as a producer. After graduating with degrees in marketing management and television radio and film from Syracuse University, Robinson set about accomplishing his career goals, but it was not easy. Robinson worked his way up from the Creative Artists Agency mailroom to become an agent, and eventually he was a partner and cofounder of the talent division at Endeavor Talent Agency. There, he represented talent like Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Will Smith, Jennifer Garner, Wesley Snipes and Ashton Kutcher. After these successes, Robinson reinvented himself as a television producer, and his executive producer credits include Rules of Engagement, The Goldbergs, and Schooled. Robinson's latest television project, For Life, is a fictionalized legal drama telling the story of a prisoner who becomes a lawyer and fights to overturn his life sentence for a crime he did not commit. Late last summer, we caught up with Robinson in his Los Angeles office on the Sony Picture Studios lot to discuss how he went from the mailroom to a career as a decorated Hollywood agent and producer. We also discussed how Syracuse University taught Robinson to create his own personal narrative, and why he chose to help start the Syracuse University Los Angeles semester program.

In the United States there may be no sports figure more admired and reviled in any century than Muhammad Ali. For these and other reasons the opening of the film "Ali" today is a much-anticipated event. Beginning his boxing career as Cassius Clay this remarkable athlete came to symbolize many of the forces loose in America in his time. His popularity and infamy as well as the transformation of his persona over several decades are signposts in the history of America in the second half of the twentieth century. To say that Muhammad Ali was a charismatic figure, to say that he had an overpowering presence wherever he went, or to say that he was larger than life, equally understates his impact.
