I think this guy is just awesome. I mean I have been a fan since DOLLMAN but him as Rorschach in WATCHMEN totally revamped how awesome he is. So I was just wondering how much he is in this movie, and is he like a funny guy or is he playing like the straight man or somthing? Thanks
shareI also watched this movie just for him. He plays a silly role, a hippie fan who gets to take a free-throw shot from across the court to try to win $10,000. He has one scene near the beginning of the movie (laugh out loud funny), another brief appearance later on in the movie where he is seen in the stands holding a sign, and then one scene at the very end of the movie.
It was nice to see him do a purely comedic role after seeing him in serious fare like Watchmen and Little Children. He seemed to bring the same level of intensity to his comedy. Even though he's barely in the movie, I thought his scenes were the best.
So now my question to you is how much is he in Dollman and what kind of role does he play? Thanks.
In Dollman, he comes in at about 15 minutes in (give or take) and is there for the rest of the movie. The whole story is about a guy from another planet (who is 12 inches tall on our planet) fighting a normal sized gang of bad guys. Jackie Earle Haley is the leader of said gang so he gets quite a bit of screen time. Now the movie is intentionally silly and corny so his role is obviously different than Rorschach, but he is awesome none the less and so is the movie despite its faults.
shareHe's got great comedic timing. If you don't want to see the rest of Semi Pro, here's Jackie's main scene (and probably the only funny one in the movie):

You know I was wondering the same thing! Was considering renting to watch him if it was a decent (even supporting) part.

Not enough.
