Caption:

During an appearance at the Berlin Film Festival this week, the veteran actor spoke out about actors being cast based on how many Instagram followers they have. Speaking to the press, the Dead Poets Society star revealed that he has come across the phenomenon in the film industry. "Sometimes I'll be setting a movie up and someone will say, 'Oh, you should cast Suzie.' I'm like, 'Who is she?' 'She has 10 million followers.' I'm like, 'OK cool, has she acted before?' 'No, but...' And you're like, 'Wow, so this is going to help me get the movie made? This is crazy.'"
