I asked to name which charities he worked with and what he did with the community and you post one article that talks about how people who lived near him.......often saw him walking on the sidewalk. Wow. That's shocking. I don't know anyone who lives in NYC who walks on the sidewalk near where he lives. The other article talks about how proud his hometown was. Another shocker.
I'll ask again, name the charities he was involved with and how he was involved with the community. Walking down the sidewalk, saying hi to people and periodically giving someone a cigarette doesn't exactly distinguish him as someone deeply involved with the community. Actually, the more I read, the more I am realizing that he was completely self absorbed and did next to nothing for others and "the community."
Compare him to someone like Ed Norton, who also lives in NYC and actually is involved in the community and bettering society (I also bet that people see him walking down the sidewalk from time-to-time):
Norton was a strong supporter of former New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer.[54] Norton is a member of the board of trustees of Enterprise Community Partners, a non-profit developer of affordable housing based in his hometown. He is also well known for his support for environmental causes and renewable energy projects, such as Enterprise's Green Communities Initiative and BP's Solar Neighbors program.[55][56][57] He also put time and money toward social activist causes, including improving the quality of living in low-income communities.[58][59]
Norton's work with the HBO documentary By the People: The Election of Barack Obama led to a soundtrack, with proceeds going to Enterprise Community Partners and United Way. Norton also participated in a 2008 Fast Company story about Enterprise's green affordable housing.[60]
Norton is president of the American branch of the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust.[61] To raise money for the trust, Norton fielded a team of 30 runners in the New York City Marathon on November 1, 2009.[62] The team included Alanis Morissette and David Blaine.[63] Norton finished the event first among celebrities with a time of 3 hours, 48 minutes.[3] Norton and his team raised over $1 million for the Trust.[3][64] In May 2010, Norton launched a website called Crowdrise, which uses a social networking platform to help raise funds for charity.[65]
In May 2012, Norton played football for an 'England vs. The Rest of the World' match the charity event Soccer Aid along with other actors such as Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson. The event eventually raised over £4,000,000 for UNICEF UK.[66]
You clearly still do not understand the definition of platitude so I won't bother further correcting you.
