Malak - worst comic relief character in a movie?


It is a dead heat with Jar-Jar Binks.


Partly it was due to his wispy monotone voice, I am surprised that he was cast for the part, it required someone more 'alive'.

Also has a non speaking role in ZZtop Music Video Sleeping Bag.

Thanks, as a Tracey Walter fan I appreciate that.

He wasn't even close to being as annoying as Jar-Jar Binks. Plus, he had a funny scene, though he was helped by two other actors:

Malak: My cousin's sister's brother never said anything about bars. How do we get back up?

Akiro: The bars were put up after your sister's brother's cousin escaped.

Malak: Cousin's sister's brother. How many times do I have to tell you that?!

Akiro: You said your sister's brother's cousin!

Zula: Who cares whose brother's sister's cousin it is?! What difference does it make?!

I can forgive him this trespass,,,he showed brilliantly in that little space during "Philadelphia" & previously as a cold blooded killer in "At Close Range."

reply

He was a complete waste of space. Disgraceful.

reply

didn't mind him. i like the actor anyways so that helped. he had his useful moments.
