Matthew Lillard

Post image

I feel Matthew is one of the best comedic actors of our generation. However, based on his acting in Scream, I think we missed out on the opportunity of watching him crush some serious/ action/ drama roles. What are your thoughts? Am I wrong? Was he meant for comedy alone?

Yeah after seeing the few videos of him trying to console scared kids at conventions in his Shaggy voice, I think he's a pretty good dude. The online version of him, anyways.

He recently(?) hosted a baking show, Killer Cakes.

I'd love for him to play a few serious roles. Maybe a gritty detective, perhaps a psycho a la Dexter.
