Ron Perlman says he did the Fallout intro for $40 and a sandwich, he's never played it, and he's not interested in trying: 'The whole Fallout thing is a mystery to me' (www.pcgamer.com)

Wait what?

Who is ... asking... huh?

Yeah, its totally normal to ask people if they share interests that you do.

... its not normal to expect that everyone else will.

Its not ... reasonable, meaning, grounded in reality, to expect that like, every actor in a show for an IP is going to be obsessed with all things connected to that IP.

Media generally walks a line between being a geuinely expressive creative output... and being a mass produced product manufactured for a known market demographic.

The levels of enthusiasm and professionalism can vary wildly over everyone involved in that process.

Expecting Pearlman to be an avid Fallout player is like expecting the person in the Goofy suit at DisneyLand to themselves be a Disney Bounder, or whatever the term is.

That's the point I'm trying to make.

Things like this, to some people, are just their day job.

Happy to be a part of it, but not... personally interested in also being a customer/consumer/partaker/etc.
