William H. Macy has criticised Lindsay Lohan for keeping people waiting on set.

The 20-year-old was recently attacked by a studio executive for consistently arriving late for work on new film Georgia Rule, and although Macy labelled Lohan a "huge talent", he made it clear that he disapproved of her recent behaviour.

People magazine quotes the Fargo as saying: "You can't show up late. It's very, very disrespectful."

"I think what an actor has to realize (is that) when you show up an hour late, 150 people have been scrambling to cover for you. There is not an apology big enough in the world to have to make 150 people scramble. It's nothing but disrespect. And Lindsay Lohan is not the only one. A lot of actors show up late as if they're God's gift to the film. It's inexcusable, and they should have their asses kicked," he stated.

The seasoned actor recently worked with Lohan on Bobby, and when asked about the experience he reportedly paused then replied: "She was pretty late."
