Seriously, Jessica

Jessica Alba remarked in this month's issue of GQ that she wanted to be known for more than what she looks like in a bikini. My first reaction was, "Oh, cry me a river. When you're working for the big studios, and collecting millions of dollars each time, you have to know that the roles they give you won't be the most artistically fulfilling."

However, I took a look at her filmography on IMDb.com and learned that, in addition to the big budget Hollywood films that she is perhaps best known for, Jessica Alba also did some low budget stuff and at least one true indie, Bill. The movie is about a man who is fed up with his job, is married to a cheating wife and whose life changes when he start to mentor a rebellious teen.

I have to respect anyone who isn't happy with the way their life or career is going and actually does something proactive about it.

Oh, and while she's doing it, she still looks darn good in a bikini.
