Film star and comedian Anthony Anderson has signed up to join the new season of hit TV show “The Shield”. Prompting the question: “Why on earth would anyone hire this guy?!?
I’m sorry, but this guy is a total waste of screen space. I’ve tried very hard to like him. Honestly I have. But time and time again his overall lack of talent makes him a distraction at best and a total annoyance at worst whenever he’s on the screen.
And no, I’m not slagging him because he’s been in a LONG list of bad films (Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London, My Baby’s Daddy, Malibu’s Most Wanted, Cradle 2 the Grave, Kangaroo Jack, See Spot Run, the list goes on and on)… sometimes good actors end up in bad projects… that’s just a fact of movie life. I’ve yet to see him in ANYTHING where he made me crack more than one or two smiles the entire film, and most of the time he has me moaning in agony. And yet, he continues to get roles… and even some pretty decent ones.
Am I the only one who notices this? Seriously, am I just missing the point with this guy? What is it the studios see in him that keeps landing him roles?
