Wow. It must be *really* hideous if it's not even coming out in video!

He definitely is NOT calming down as he gets older. :-D

I would think that being the lead singer of the Who -- and having some
good roles in decent films under his belt -- would definitely put him
in a position to know the right people for that. 

He's got some acting talent (not on the level of, say, Pacino, but
he's definitely good), charisma and high name recognition. That should
open lots of doors for him.

But I think that much like with his solo music career, he has a knack
for picking lots of crap and not enough worthy material, IMO.
