Matthew Lillard

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 was in the descendants with George Clooney and though he had a short screen time, he still made an impact. He’s a very good actor and I want to see him get more roles in the future, he deserves it, especially with how many people have said that he’s a nice guy. Something you don’t see a lot in Hollywood now

YES. Not enough people comment on The Descendants. Yeah, Matthew Liliard was great in it, such an unexpectedly down to earth role for him considering EVERYTHING ELSE he's ever done.
