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?

Agreed, but his later, non comedic, stuff is good too. Bosch.

He was in Bosch??! My mom watched that show and really liked it, we've both read the books (they're awesome by the way, Michael Connelly is a pretty great writer!)

Gonna have to watch that, I guess!:)

Edit: someone else referenced the role and it clicked for me i just forgot about it!

He’s not in it a lot, and not until a later season. With that being said it’s a great show and he was really fucking good in it.
