Why there are so many brainfart actors in season3?


You couldn't hire dancing midget but you hired *beep* vedder? I'm still trying to recover brain cancer for what pearl jam gave me. I'm sure he is new bob.

Also bisping? trent reznor? michael cera??? Seriously?


Please boycott this *beep*

Why would I boycott?

I'll trust David Lynch to know what he's doing. He has previously used musicians in small (Marilyn Manson in Lost Highway) and larger (Chris Isaak and David Bowie in Fire Walk with Me) roles; it's a thing he likes to do. I'm sure they won't get much screentime. As for Cera, Lynch is terrific at soliciting interesting performances from generally terrible/mediocre actors.

Michael J. Anderson elected not to do the show because he felt he deserved more money that they were asking - which, for an actor who hasn't worked in the past ten years, is probably not the best idea. He lost the job for himself.

I didn't realize Anderson wouldn't be in it. That's a pity for such an iconic role. I don't know what's the problem with Cera, either. The original series had far worse actors than him.

reply

I'm guessing the reasoning is "everything new and popular sux".

reply

Probably all these surprising choices are one-shot cameos to make us look harder. Good choice, Lynch!

What are you talking about? There was no season three.

There was no season three, but there will be one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4093826/?ref_=nv_sr_2

Edit: Which, it seems, you found out already.

Michael Cera is a good actor. Comedic, but really good.

reply

I find him intolerable. He's like Owen Wilson - can inhabit a character, but guaranteed to turn 40% of the audience against you. What's the point?
