Arrested Development...

I've read a few posts on here about how funny Carl Weathers is on AD. I would agree but in a way it is kind of a pathetic humour. He is essentially degrading himself and his acting reputation by appearing in such a weak/deprived/cheap manner (Not a character mind you...Carl appears on the show as Himself).

I kind of feel like AD is taking advantage of him and the fact that he doesn't get a ton of work anymore. I mean did Mitchell Hurwitz really write this role for/with Carl Weathers in mind or was it a simple vague idea of a Hollywood has been that Weathers fits the mold for?

While I'm on the soap box I guess I feel the same way about Liza Minnelli too.

I laugh my ass off but I also feel bad cause the roles are not very flattering. Am I the only one who see it like that (Carl Weathers/Liza Minnelli excluded:-)?
