so did anyone else enjoy Craig Robinson here


i actually found him fantastic really.

If you want to be taken seriously, you have to be a serious person.

I thought he was pretty badly mis cast to be honest. He only did bad in his first 2 scenes with elliot, later when he was more so a villain he did a bit better but was one of the more unconvincing actors from the show. I definitly wanted to like him in here but he didn't deliver his lines realistically enough. That's just my opinion though, I still love the show

I actually thought he was one of the stronger characters this season despite it being just a subplot.

I thought he gave a solid performance and was diggin his part while watching, but in retrospect I think that subplot could have been trimmed a little because it didn't really have an impact on the story at all

I think he did a really good job. I always get a kick out of casting people in roles we normally aren't used to seeing them in. So, seeing Robinson do something more dark and dramatic was fun. I don't have has many issues as people seem to have with Ray's story line, and I also wonder if he'll pop back up on the show some time in the future.

I find it hard to believe anyone that's held significance on the show is ever really gone, in whatever capacity, even when they're dead! The domino effect on Mr. Robot is strong! We'll see...

He was great.

I have this standard for actors from the office. I call them by their character name when addressing them.

So to me, it's Michael Scott and not Steve Carrell.

After watching this season, Craig Robinson is no longer his character from the office. He is Ray. 100%

I thought he was great, really surprised me. Subtlety, darkness with a hint of humour. Casting on the show all round is pretty much perfect
