So glad this d bag is gone


Used to be so annoying seeing him pop up in every movie. Someone finally figured out he’s not appealing to anyone and definitely not a leading man

A-freakin men! One of the most annoying and unlikable actors I’ve ever seen. I understand why they hired him to play Mark Zuckerberg, but every other role he’s had I simply don’t know what the directors were thinking hiring him.

He would be ok as a character actor

Like a less talented Steve Buscemi. Or a Rick Moranis. Or a James Rebhorn. Or a David Paymer. Or John Carrol Lynch. Or a Jay Baruchel

He does have talent as an actor. He just did so many roles as a leading man, even though he is very easy to hate, neurotic-yet-cocky personality

He should have done way more roles as a supporting actor playing villains, cowards, geeks, and criminals. Then he'd have a genuine fanbase. But he wanted to be a big shot, and it sort of blew up in his face

He would have made a good comic book villain, just not one as imperious and Machiavellian as Lex Luthor. He could have been a Mad Hatter. A scarecrow. A Riddler. Basically any physically weak, constantly-disrespected but still has a shining moment every now and then type of villain

But, cyberbob, every actor you name can also play comic roles. Eisenberg cannot. He’s too full of himself to be funny, so his range of acting choices is limited.

Now, if would play a part where his character dies a long, slow, excruciating, creative and above all humiliating death, well, that would make me laugh and laugh and play it again and then laugh some more.
