Type casting is something that happens way too often in the acting world and we end up seeing particular actors star in almost the exact same role over and over again. It's a shame because we could be missing out on some breakthrough performances and brilliant talent that we'll never get a chance to see simply because some guy seems best as the fat funny sidekick. But what about the accomplished actors that decide to step out of their comfort zone and into the unusual role that it's so hard to see them in? It happens, and the results aren't always pretty. »»
Hot Rod had all the elements necessary to be a great dumb comedy. A clueless goofball wanting to be the next Evel Knievel just screams physical comedy goldmine. More than enough Saturday Night Live cast members had leading roles. Ian McShane’s gruff Deadwood persona was perfect to antagonize the lead.

From prestige pictures to summer blockbusters, movies are Hollywood's proverbial golden goose. But with movies comes baggage, like those who have super egos or who are just spoiled brats on and off the set. As the son of comic thespians, Ben Stiller has seen all that the medium has to offer. Now he skewers it. »»

Character actors and supporting players have a knack for stealing scenes. For the moment you could make the case that Danny McBride is a hot commodity in movie comedies, since the funnyman has popped up in this summer's Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express. He may look like the schulbs that get paired with the beautiful, hot actresses on network sitcoms (round and rotund with nary a clue), but such a look is perfect for a comedy that's destined to become a cult hit on DVD. »»
