Kristoffer Polaha.. Stay with/leave the CW? He's had 3 shows cancelled.

This d-bag was NOT the lead in "Life Unexpected," and HE'S the reason these shows are cancelled. Will you *beep* losers stop blaming everybody and everything for the failures? It's NOT THE BLEEDING NETWORKS, (he's been on ALL of the networks and every show he's on is cancelled including GUEST STARRING episodes) it's HIM. He is the common thread with all of them. Not the writers, or the co-stars, or the creators, or the producers, or the directors, or the NETWORKS - the common thread/problem IS HIM.

"I see him as a very capable actor. Do you all reckon he should start looking up jobs in other networks?" - You're the one with the problem then because his acting sucks, and his track record proves it. And airhead, he has a *LOL* "talent hold" at CBS studios, so he can't go any place else. It's a good thing for those of us normal, tasteful people that don't want to see him on TV anymore, because he can only go to the networks that CBS have contracts with. CBS and the CW are pretty much it, there are rarely ever exceptions when CBS is involved. CBS passed on the show because of him and the stupidity of the storyline, they are too smart to put him in a show, and the CW better wiseup soon or CBS should close the network down since they own the lion's share of the CW.


"Like Michael Cassidy. "Hidden Palms", "Smallville" and "Privileged" didn't workfor him, but now he's the STAR of a new TBS show which debuts in 2 weeks (glad he also got on ABC/NBC shows)." - How the hell do you know that it's "successful" if it hasn't EVEN DEBUTED YET? Ever wonder why he's not successful in anything? Because he sucks too. Idiot. None of the shows that he's starred in on the other networks have lasted either, so you just proved my point for me, it ain't the network's fault.

"Maybe Kristoffer should do the same. It could be better for his career. CW's not worth it." - CW is worth far more than this tool Popo deserves. His "career" would be "better" if he'd stop *beep* pretending that he has a real career and let his wife go back to work (and stop getting that poor woman pregnant every year because he's bored and has no life). His wife can act, he cannot.


"He's like kryptonite for every freshman show! lol I thought he was the worst actor on Ringer...So wooden and douchy...maybe it was the writing..." - You're right, he's the worst actor in EVERY show he's in, so no need to backpedal and claim it's the right. Stick to your first instint.

Or maybe you are not a good judge of acting ability. If you found Kristoffer Polaha "wooden," you just may resemble that person who doesn't "know much about art" but who nevertheless knows what s/he doesn't like. A truly "wooden" actor would not be convincing in any role, even as a "douche." If you found the character offensive, Polaha must have done a good job of conveying Henry's flaws ... as delineated by the writers and approved by the director(s). To label him as "kryptonite" because he has appeared in a number of failed shows (in complete disregard of those shows which managed to succeed even though he was in them) indicates a limited perspective on your part-- rather like saying the New York City backdrop or the cheesy background music was the principal reason why certain shows were terminated. Kristoffer Polaha's casting was just a single element of "Ringer," and any number of other factors might have led to the the series' demise.

"He probably signed a development deal with either CBS or WB. But he's a consistent TV star, so I'm sure he'll get new work faster than SMG or even Ioan." - He signed a "talent HOLD" which means he can only go to CBS contracted networks/shows. So don't hold your breath that he'll be on anything anytime soon. The networks are finally getting wise to him, it's time the public followed suite.

"He was also in "North Shore" a few years ago, a show on Fox that didn't last more than one season (I actually liked that show, and him on it). But I didn't care for him on Ringer." - Considering that he plays the same damn character, I don't how you could like him in anything. "Most of it was the way his character was written, but he also rarely tried to do much more than scrunch up his eyebrows with a pained and/or confused expression on his face for much of the season." - Again, it's not the *beep* writting, it's his effing acting. Why are you acting like his 'no expression/expression' is new? Are you getting it yet? That's the problem. That's the basis is ACTING, the expressions are 90% of it and he has none.

"I haven't seen him in much else (never watched Life Unexpected, and I don't even remember Valentine), so I can't fully judge his capabilities, but perhaps a leading man/role isn't the best way for him to go." - The best role for him would be the out-of-work Dad, because again he plays that same role in every show so why not go back to doing it IRL?

Y'all leave Angel 2.0 alone dammit!!! Lol

Not a jinx, a Ted McGinley! http://www.tvguide.com/keywords/jts-ted-mcginley

i think his acting is fine, don't know what everyone is going on about!. if anyones acting was off on ringer it was smg!.

why did you bring up smallville when you mentioned Michael Cassidy. Smallville was a success. And he was not the reason why the O.C. was cancelled.
