Jonathan Sadowski is EPIC!


I've read so many bad stuff about Jonathan on this board, and as a huge fan of his, I feel obliged to say something. I'm not going to argue with nay-sayers, since I haven't seen *this* particular show (although I want to). I'm sure people have their reasons, since it's not just one or two people. But, I really want to say that Jonathan is an amazing, very talented actor, and if there is something wrong, it must be the character and the way that he is written.
I'm not a fan (only) for his gorgeous looks, I've seen quite a lot of stuff with him.

'She's the Man' - Modern adaptation of Shakespeare's play, he plays Paul, heroine's best friend, a stylist who makes her to look like a man. He is charming, has some really funny lines, but also gives warmth and support. He is very funny, but still one of the smartest characters, not a goon or something like that.

'Live Free or Die Hard' - In fourth installment of the series (and aside the first one, the best), he plays a computer geek, who works for the leading terrorist and virtually stops traffic and stuff like that. In that role he is rather cold, yet obidient.

'Chernobyl Diaries' - Horror movie about people lost in Chernobyl and the weird stuff that happens there. Jonathan is main character, who comes from being bit douche to being very cool and helpful to others hero of the story. In this role, he is imposing and quite a brave man. Not funny at all for the last three quarters. The movie itself has a disappointing ending, but he is great in it.

'Friday the 13'th' - The remake. He is among the teens who go to Crystal lake to smoke pot and is a nerdy guy, who aside being a geek, is also an avid pot smoker. Small role, but very charismatic.

'Spring Breakdown' - A comedy about 30-something women reliving their teen days. Jonathan is a party guy, bit airhaid, smitten with empty, but hot girl, because of whom he leaves a girl who actually loves him. Here he seams relaxed, but not really a deep or critic person.

'Chuck, S2EP7: Chuck vs The Sandworm' - Jonathan is a computer genius scientist, who was involved with CIA and may, or may not be the mad bomber. In any case, he plays a guy who is clearly unstable, escaping something or someone and tries hard to adjust new situation. Actually, the whole episode lies upon the chemistry of him and Zachary Levi.



So, please, before judging him, try to watch some other stuff with him and you will see that he is actually very talented actor. Actually, he is one of my favorite actors. I know he can't be a favorite to all, but try being nicer on comments.
Thanks.

I'm a huge fan of his too, and very irritated at the hate he gets. I think someone got mad because he actually replaced the original lead actor on *beep* My Dad Says. I finally was able to watch the whole series online and he is excellent in it. I also saw him in She's The Man, Die Hard 4, and Chernobyl Diaries and I like his work.

If you ever want to watch *beep* My Dad Says, it is on a site called The Dare Wall
