Romany Malco made his name in films such as Baby Mama, the 40 Year Old Virgin and Think Like a Man and on TV in hit shows such as Weeds. But it is his outspoken nature and command of social media that have garnered him legions of followers and detractors - and which led him to worry about accepting an offer from the USO to visit the troops in Afghanistan in early April. "My paranoia kicked in," he admits. "I have been so vocal about our government, the military, the role the Federal Reserve plays. I wasn't sure if I would go over there and have these soldiers pissed off at me. I talk a lot of shit." 2013-04-25-romany2.jpg

Romany's fans tend to be males between 17-35 years of age, making him a natural for visiting with our troops. But there was another reason, according to Malco, "I have a military background, was in the Marine Corps from 1987 to 1991. I just didn't want this to be a poseur mission. I like to be accessible and thought I was going to have to conspire to get past the posing, the Hollywood aspect of it." Romany's partner for the USO tour was actress Jill Wagner who he describes as "a very personable chick raised by a Marine. She's very down to earth and accessible."

Romany's first stop on the tour was Manas International Airport in Kyrgyzstan where he landed on April 2. "It hit me going through all these security checkpoints that it costs a lot of money to build a city inside of a city," he muses. "There's no reason you would spend this much money to build a base unless there was some way to monetize it."

Over the course of the next 10 days, Malco and Wagner were based at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, flying in Black Hawks to bases across the country. As Romany Malco recalls, "We literally went from base to base shaking hands and talking to people. Initially they formed a line for autographs but we said we came here to talk to you. No lines! Break out your camera phones and we'll record messages for your families back home. We ended up just hanging out with the troops. Sometimes I'd see Jill surrounded by 30 guys because she's gorgeous. I got to have in depth conversations about the soldiers' families, how they were raised, why they chose to enter the military."

When asked what the troops had in common, Malco says, "I realized the only way for them to be over there is to completely submerge themselves in the mission. You can pick the war apart politically or morally but that ain't going to get you nowhere. You have to become gung ho." He adds, "Here's what I noticed: Every single person I met made piercing eye contact, had a strong sense of purpose and was proud of what he was doing. What they thought personally about the war may have been very different."

Romany laughs when asked if he was ever in danger and recounts a night when he was awakened from his sleep by the shrill announcement, "Incoming! Incoming!" With the sound of exploding bombs in the distance, he put on his armor and helmet and went back to sleep. He also chose to sleep with the troops instead of in VIP quarters which were more secure.

Now back in the US, Romany Malco says he would happily go on another USO tour but he says that the experience in Afghanistan has changed him greatly. He is philosophical about his first-hand look at the war in Afghanistan: "These troops are away from their families for eight or nine months at a time. I'm crazy proud of them but no one can tell me why we are over there."

Zac Efron Tribeca Film Festival: Actor Talks 'At Any Price' And His Budding Indie Film Career

Zac Efron may be loved by teenage girls around the world, but he's trying his best to step away from his "High School Musical" days and focus on becoming a more well-rounded actor.

The 25-year-old has appeared in a handful of independent films over the last few years, including "Me and Orson Welles," "The Paperboy" and more recently "At Any Price," which he attended the premiere for at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 19.

Efron briefly chatted with HuffPost Celebrity on the red carpet, admitting he doesn't know how he became an "indie darling."

"I don't know," he told reporters of what inspired him to make a commitment to films outside of mainstream production. "I’ve been doing a lot of interviews with Dennis [Quaid] and his words of wisdom are sort of just fresh in my mind. Dennis says the only role he sort of had for himself in this career is to do as many different types of movies as possible and never stop stretching or trying something new, particularly roles that challenge you. And working with great directors," he added, "That’s really all I want to do."

HuffPost caught up with Quaid at the screening as well, who coincidentally echoed Efron's sentiments: "The only strategy I've ever had is to play as many different types of roles as possible."

He also had some kind things to say about Efron, who stars as his son in "At Any Price."

"He’s such a great actor. He’s such a down-to-earth guy and he’s really got all the tools in the toolbox," Quaid said of his co-star. "He dedicated himself [to this film] and I think he made me better."

As for what Efron will do next, the Hollywood heartthrob says he's simply looking to take on characters he connects with.

"It kind of just falls into place and you know it. It’s what you want to do," he told HuffPost. "I’m doing a movie called 'Townies' right now where I play the president of a fraternity and that’s totally opposite of this character."

There's no doubt Efron will make it far in his career, considering he's already had a huge impact on all the directors, writers and actors he's worked with.

"Zac is just really together. I’m so amazed by how smart and hard working he is," co-star Heather Graham added of Efron. "And he has the craziest fans of any actor I’ve ever worked with ... like they’re screaming and waiting outside the set for hours. We ate at a restaurant and when we came out there were 30 teenage girls waiting outside screaming at the top of their lungs. It’s like the Beatles!"

Daniel Day-Lewis' First Oscar: 'Lincoln' Actor Won In 1990 For 'My Left Foot' (PHOTO)

Sunday evening's Academy Awards won't be Daniel Day-Lewis' first rodeo.

Lewis first hit the red carpet at the Oscars in 1990, when he took home the award for Best Actor for his performance in 1989's "My Left Foot." Day-Lewis sported quite a different look at the show, rocking shoulder-length brown locks and a bow tie. Take a look at his 1990 look below.

Day-Lewis is up for Best Actor again this year for her portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in "Lincoln." The film was nominated for a total of 12 awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Steven Spielberg, Best Supporting Actor for Tommy Lee Jones, and Best Supporting Actress for Sally Field.

Day-Lewis has maintained a consistent presence at the Academy Awards, receiving a nomination for Best Actor in 1994 for "In the Name of the Father" and 2003 for "Gangs of New York," and winning Best Actor in 2008 for "There Will Be Blood."

Jeremy Luke Is ON OUR RADAR: The Actor Talks Typecasting, Womanizing And Delivering Pizza (INTERVIEW)

Anyone can tell you who's already made it, but HuffPost Arts & Culture's On Our Radar series is here to tell you who's about to blow up -- and, in some cases, go pop.

You've probably heard the buzz around Joseph Gordon Levitt's directorial debut, "Don Jon's Addiction." The film stars JLG himself as a porn-addicted casanova who begins to question his womanizing ways. Although the film stars Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore and Tony Danza as well as the almighty Levitt, we have our eye on the comedic up-and-comer playing Levitt's best friend. Jeremy Luke, known for his web series "Turbo and Joey," plays Levitt's friend, a Jersey bred club hopper who, where the ladies are concerned, takes what he can get. We talked to Luke about Facebook, fame and the unbelievable beauty of ScarJo. Scroll down for a slideshow of Sundance's hottest new stars.

don jons addictionJeremy Luke with Rob Brown and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, courtesy of Don Jon's Addiction


HP: Tell us about your character in "Don Jon's Addiction."

JL: I play Danny, Joseph Gordon Levitt's friend. Danny is the kind of guy who is in his late 20s, still going to clubs; he is a weekend warrior. His philosophy on women and dating is "go for the 2s and 3s, they're more open minded." Joe and I make a life out of going to clubs, objectifying women, and trying to pick them up.

HP: How did you wind up with the role?

JL: I was hanging out at this bar in my neighborhood and someone recognized me from my web show, "Turbo and Joey." This guy says he knows Joe and is looking for someone to play his best friend. They say they're looking for Jersey but I'm thinking it's going to be like "Garden State," so watered down. I wasn't expecting much, but I sent over some videos.

HP: The cast includes Joseph Gordon Levitt, Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore. What was it like to be surrounded by Hollywood's biggest stars?

JL: Scarlett Johansson is gorgeous. My scenes are primarily with Rob Brown, but man, she was stunning. I'm just a regular guy, so for me to be in the same room as Scarlett -- she was, like, so hot. And in the film she plays this character with kind of a trashy New York accent. When I was around her I just talked about my girlfriend a lot.

HP: Are you blowing up online?

JL: Yeah, a lot of Joe's fans are hitting up my Facebook wall and a lot of them are kind of weird. It's not like models, it's wackos.

HP: Who did you look at for inspiration when getting into character?

JL: To be honest, I looked at myself when i was 21, 22 years old. I'm sure there is a piece of that guy in all of us. Going out, objectifying women. Every guy has done it. It's a part of growing up.

HP: Does your character realize the error of his ways?

JL: Ha, nope. Joe's character realizes, but Danny has another five or six years.

HP: Your bio mentioned that you are more than just a Jersey boy. Do you think being from Jersey has helped your career or is limiting?

JL: Typecasting is a good and a bad thing. I get typecasted to play characters that are all, "Who's got the money?" BOOM! SLAP! "Joey's got the money!" But it gave me an angle. It gave me a way to work. But then again, I can do more than that; I've been acting for 15 years.

HP: How would your drama teacher describe you?

JL: He kicked me out of class. He was great, but honestly the real influence in my life was my acting coach in New York who gave me the inspiration to go out here to LA; it was not easy. I worked selling tickets for Dodger Stadium, I delivered pizza, I did every job under the sun. It's the part that sucks as an artist. But I've learned at the end of the day you just have to enjoy your life.

A lot of people just look at acting as a quick fix -- they don't have a work ethic. This is a job, it's not all margaritas on the beach.

"Don Jon's Addiction" premieres January 18.

See our slideshow of other Sundance faces to watch below.

Film: Emanuel And The Truth About Fishes The actress, 20, already familiar to British audiences for her role as Effy Stonem on Channel 4's Skins, is said to knock it out of the park as a troubled girl who becomes preoccupied with a mysterious new neighbor bearing a striking resemblance to her dead mother in writer-director Francesca Gregorini's film.

Film: Ain't Them Bodies Saints All of the buzz surrounding the writer-director's bleak, U.S. drama competition title, starring Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck as an outlaw couple on the run, is sweet revenge for the Texan. His previous film, 2009's St. Nick, was turned down by Sundance (it instead screened at SXSW).

Film: Afternoon Delight Long relegated to sidekick and cameo roles in such films as Our Idiot Brother and Step Brothers, Hahn, 38, seizes the spotlight in the dark comedy, another entry in the U.S. dramatic competition. Jill Soloway directs her in the role of a well-to-do mother who takes home a stripper (Juno Temple) whom she attempts to save.

Film: Mother of George The 34-year-old actress, best known as the fierce, sword-wielding Michonne on AMC hit The Walking Dead, is garnering heat for her turn as a fertility challenged African immigrant desperately trying to save her marriage in Andrew Dosunmu's U.S. drama submission.

Film: The Spectacular Now All grown up since his supporting turn opposite Nicole Kidman in Rabbit Hole, the 25-year-old stars in James Ponsoldt's coming-of-age film, in the U.S. dramatic competition, as a budding alcoholic who strikes up a relationship with a classmate (Shailene Woodley).

Pancreatic Cancer: Why is 'Game Of Thrones' Actor Wilko Johnson's Condition So Deadly?

Wilko Johnson, the 65-year-old actor who played the part of Ilyn Payne in HBO's "Game of Thrones," has terminal pancreatic cancer and will not be receiving chemotherapy, according to news reports.

"He is currently in good spirits, is not yet suffering any physical effects and can expect to enjoy at least another few months of reasonable health and activity," a statement from Johnson's manager stated, as reported by The Guardian.

In 2012, 43,920 people are estimated to have developed pancreatic cancer and 37,390 people are estimated to have died from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Pancreatic cancer is notoriously deadly, with 75 percent of people dying within a year of being diagnosed, MyHealthNewsDaily reported. And within five years, 94 percent of people with the disease will die.

Survival rates are higher when the cancer is caught early, but even early-stage pancreatic cancer has a very low five-year survival rate. For the most common kind of pancreatic cancer tumors, called exocrine tumors, the survival rate is 14 percent for the earliest stage (stage 1A) -- it goes down to 7 percent for stage 2A, and 1 percent for stage 4, according to the American Cancer Society. News reports did not specify whether Johnson has the exocrine form of pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is also not often caught early since symptoms usually don't appear until later on, MyHealthNewsdaily reported. And even when the symptoms do appear, they can be vague (like back pain, or experiencing indigestion).

The Mayo Clinic added that pancreatic cancer spreads very quickly, making it hard for surgery to be a treatment option. Surgery can only be used to treat pancreatic cancer if it has not spread outside of the organ, the Mayo Clinic noted. Other treatment options include chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy and radiation.

Fred Armisen, Elisabeth Moss Marriage: Actor Admits He Was 'A Terrible Husband'

Elisabeth Moss confessed what she thinks of her ex-husband Fred Armisen, but how does he feel about their 8-month long marriage?

Terrible.

The "Saturday Night Live" star, 46, who married the "Mad Men" actress in October 2009, only to end the relationship in June 2010, admits he was a crappy husband. In an interview with Howard Stern on his Sirius XM radio show in early January, Armisen discussed how he feels about Moss' comments on their short-lived union.

"One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, ‘He’s so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person,’” Moss, 30, told New York Post's Page Six in March 2012, adding, "To me, that sums it up.”

"She must f**king hate you," Stern, 58, told Armisen, who replied, "I imagine so."

"... You must have been a terrible husband," Stern added, as Armisen answered, "I think I was a terrible husband, I think I'm a terrible boyfriend."

The "Portlandia" star, who officially divorced Moss in May 2011 admits he gets "very caught up in the beginning" of his romances, but eventually gets tired of being with the same woman. (He dated Moss for only a year before tying the knot).

"I want it all ... fast," he admitted. "I want to be married, I want to live together ... and then somewhere around a year or two years, I get freaked out. I freak out emotionally and then I actually feel like 'Oh my God, who's this stranger in my house?"

Armisen even confessed that he doesn't like the feeling of being tied down to the same person and likes to have his freedom to date whoever he wants.

"Do you feel entitled to more women?" Stern asked.

"I don't want to admit that out loud to myself," Armisen said, "but that probably is it."

So, how did he get Moss to eventually give up on their marriage?

"You sort of withdraw and you sort of get into all the things that you think make you weird," Armisen explained of his technique, admitting that he "should go back to therapy." "Like, 'I'm really into playing XBox ... [or] my record collection.' You sort of disappear into the things that you think are your hobbies."

"I feel bad for everyone I've gone out with," he added.

Armisen was married to English singer Sally Timms from 1998 to 2004, but told Stern they were just good friends and made it official "more for her green card." He also dated "SNL" co-star Abby Elliott, 25, after splitting with Moss, but ended things after their spark "fizzled." Elliott is no longer on the show.

Why One Straight Actor Still Feels Uncomfortable Playing Gay

The effect of multiple strangers asking you to take off your clothes is uncomfortably intimate—like walking around a doctor's office with a glass of your own urine.

That's what I'm thinking when, for the third time in a day, a woman asks me: "So, you are comfortable taking your shirt off?"

I nod and hand her a headshot.

'Final Cut': Former Child Actor Killed Girlfriend, Went On The Run With Their Son (VIDEO)

Final Cut Child Star 121226 'Final Cut': Former Child Star Mark Everett (Manuel Benitez) Killed His Girlfriend, Fled With Their Young Son

Manuel Benitez went by the stage name Mark Everett when he was a successful child actor. He starred in several TV shows, commercials and movies, including "Stand and Deliver." "Final Cut" told the story of his dark journey after stardom.

In the 1990s, Benitez had a 3-year-old son with his girlfriend. When she told him she wanted to break up with him, he allegedly beat her to death in front of their child, and then went on the run with the boy.

He successfully stayed on the run for four years, and even made the FBI's wanted list. Inevitably, the authorities caught up with him.

"As soon as he opened the door, that’s when they felt they had no choice but to fire," an investigator said. Benitez had taken his son hostage during that final confrontation. His son was shot in the leg, but survived. Benitez died from multiple gunshots.
