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?

He deserves to have a comeback role that will relaunch his career, where he gets a lot of offers!

I’ve always wondered what his take on Negan in The Walking Dead would’ve looked like, since he was almost cast for the role before it went to Jeffrey Dean Morgan!

Yeah, I probably would have actually watched the Walking Dead if it had Lillard in it!
