Oh snap. He’s got something new in the works. I hope it’s a banger.
I get why he is lister as screenwriter for various works, but as an actor I think that’s totally wrong.
He’s also got a credit as appearing as himself in archive footage, which seems a little unlikely, in The UnXplained with William Shatner of all things.
It’s probably a painting (could be on pottery) of Plato. So not entirely wrong accreditation.
I’m not sure that count as an appearance, though
Plato could have done the same thing as Socrates, that guy traveled with George Carlin in a time machine. True story.
SEW CRATES! EXCELLENT. 🎸🎶
Darth Vader has a LinkedIn page
Spotify has mozart and bach as official artists
Hey he has a really good agent. His agent has been able to keep him relevant for a few thousand years.
Wasn’t he pretty anti-plays? Thought they were a waste of time with no value. Aristotle was the one who saw them as educational.
Plato wrote many plays. Atlantis actually comes from a Plato play.
I did some research
Plato had a complex relationship with the arts, including plays. While he appreciated some aspects of the arts and was a skilled literary stylist himself, he found them threatening due to their potential influence on society. Plato proposed censoring poets and playwrights in his ideal Republic, believing that the arts could shape character and manipulate people[4]. Despite his reservations about plays and other art forms, Plato’s dialogues, often considered literary masterpieces, reveal his engagement with dramatic elements and theatrical imagery to express philosophical concepts[5]. Therefore, Plato’s views on plays were nuanced, reflecting both appreciation for literary expression and concern about their impact on society.

I appreciate you.
IMDb is user generated, and he stars in “The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick” (?) from 1990.
This makes me wonder if someone credited Socrates as a lead actor in The Clouds
