Holden hates actors, he believes they're phonies.

In the first place, I hate actors. They never act like people. They just think they do.

The Lunts..... Holden is not a fan.

Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne were the old couple, and they were very good, but I
didn't like them much. They were different, though, I'll say that. They didn't act like
people and they didn't act like actors. It's hard to explain. They acted more like they knew they were celebrities and all. I mean they were good, but they were too good.
