Actor and activist Woody Harrelson has been preaching the "Save the Planet" message for a long time now. As a twelve-year-old, he wrote fifty pages about threatened wildlife. He's campaigned to save the California redwoods, touted the myriad benefits of hemp, and toured the West Coast in a biodiesel-fueled bus for a documentary. Now, as he tells MTV Movies Blog, he gets to take his message to the big screen, by way of Roland Emmerich's apocalyptic 2012. He's set to play a doomsayer who's been "talking that there's gonna be hell to pay for what's been going on ecologically," but no one pays him any mind. Why? Well, he's Woody Harrelson! If you saw him coming at you with a "The End is Nigh!" sign, would you believe him or would you look for his stash? Let's take a brief look back at just a few of the disreputable characters he's played over the years:
Roy Munson: In the Farrelly brothers' Kingpin, Harrelson played a one-handed former bowler who did the right thing in the end, but not before he was willing to corrupt an Amish man into helping him out.
Larry Flynt: The porn mogul had a point about the legality of sexy pictures, but it was sort of a hard sell.
David Murphy: He accepted a million bucks to let his wife spend the night with another man in Indecent Proposal. He ended up ditching the money, but still. If it had happened in real life, he'd never hear the end of it.
Mickey Knox: The serial killer in Natural Born Killers may have been a media darling, but would you take ecological advice from him?
Woody Boyd: While well-meaning and certainly not disreputable, and, the Cheers bartender was one or two olives short of a martini.
Ed Monix: In Semi-Pro, his training methods include making players vomit. Anyone who makes people vomit on purpose might as well be a supervillain, as far as I'm concerned.
