Mike Rowe Has A Powerful Message for Occupy Protesters Marching This Fall

"Somebody's Gotta Do It" star Mike Rowe has a message for Occupy Wall Street-style protesters who are taking to the streets in New York City and other cities this fall.

"Enjoy the fact that you have enough rope to either either build a bridge or hang yourself," said Rowe, speaking with TheBlaze last month. "You have got an incredible opportunity to be heard and you can say virtually anything you want."

Rowe went on to extoll the virtues of hard work, saying occupiers — or anyone else — ought to focus on the opportunities available rather than those unavailable.

"If you are going to dig ditches, be a great ditch-digger," Rowe told TheBlaze. "During that period when you are going to be a digger of ditches, be the best damn ditch-digger there is."

“Somebody’s Gotta Do It” profiles people who perform unique jobs and airs on CNN Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.
