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?

May be an unpopular opinion, but I really liked him in Five Nights At Freddy’s, for as little screen time as he got.

My kids were mystified when I figured out who his character was in the first scene. He is waaaay too good of an actor to be in that unimportant of a role.

*if you didn't read the diploma on his wall in that scene, it's hilarious.
