Wealth & Money Quote by Marc Wallice

"That wasn't because of money, it was because I had a job for the next two days and wanted to work. So I faked a test. That was over two years ago. Why has there been no issue about it since then?"

About this Quote

It reads like a defensive monologue rehearsed in public: not denial, exactly, but damage control with a moral alibi. Marc Wallice frames the act first as necessity and professionalism - he wanted to work, he had commitments, he wasn’t chasing cash. That ordering matters. By leading with motive, he tries to recast the transgression as a work ethic story rather than an ethical breach, inviting the audience to see him as a cog under pressure, not a villain with agency.

The blunt admission - “So I faked a test” - is almost strategically plain. No euphemisms, no elaborate excuse. It’s the kind of candor that can function as a substitute for accountability: if you say it flatly enough, maybe it feels resolved. But the real subtext arrives in the final line: “Why has there been no issue about it since then?” That question isn’t seeking clarity; it’s prosecutorial. It shifts the focus from the act to the system’s delayed reaction, implying that outrage is performative, selective, or opportunistic.

As an actor, Wallice is also negotiating public image in a marketplace that runs on employability. The quote treats scandal like a continuity error: if the story didn’t break immediately, why should it matter now? That’s a very entertainment-industry logic, where consequences often hinge less on conduct than on timing, headlines, and whether the production machine can keep moving.
