Why do they cast this guy in movies?

He just seems like some dude that slipped through some nooks and crannies and everyone was like "yeah okay". I never really thought about it until I noticed all the hate. It made me think a little and then immediately it hit me - they have a point.

Ask yourself honestly. Does this guy even make you laugh at all? I don't mean the script he is given - perhaps that could be funny, but does he help at all in making is more funny? I thought about it and he really just doesn't. As an actor he is pretty bad as well. He plays every part exactly the same. Its not like he is even acting - just being himself. His boring self that is.

I think it has to do with him starring in so many stoner movies. Now everyone is like "lool its that guy from that stoner movie haha he must be funny".

He is a complete joke.

I came here to post the same thing. It's annoying how he has to star in all of his movies because he's usually the weak link.

He was one of the badder parts of 'Superbad', was annoying in 'The Interview' and I was dissapointing when he showed up in '50/50'.

I agree. He sucks. I think he's in demand because he cornered the ugly market.

I hate him for being not funny and stealing screentime from other talented comedians

I asked myself and yes, I find him and most of his films very funny. Sorry you dislike him so much that you have to make it known to everyone.

He's not alone. I can't stand him. Character actors need to be removed from Hollywood.
