Gotta say, Bee is a better nickname than (Baby) Angel.
As for his career choices, it's easy to look back and ask why did he turn down some great parts, ignore theatre, why did he take pilots that then never materialized into series, why did he make some awful films like St. Andreas? My bet is because he's not clairvoyant.
I can respect that he talked openly about his ambition. Like somebody above said, it is uncool, people expect for the actors to not want money and fame and only live for the art itself. Bollocks. All of those who say it's all for the art are nothing but liars.
