  • Interesting (negative) take on Film Incentives:

    "Imagine you are in line at your favorite downtown store one beautiful Charleston afternoon later this year. Standing in front of you is Cam Gigandet, with an armload of the store's finest items. Everyone in the store does their best not to be "that guy," so they let the star of the hit new Holy City-based series Reckless go about his business. After the cashier rings up his purchases, Gigandet turns to the cashier and says, "Wonderful. I am going to pay about 70 percent of that total, and you, your fellow employees, and the people in line behind me can pick up the rest of the tab.".... "
