I'm sure you all are well aware of Elam, Common's character on HoW. If not, [url]http://www.amctv.com/shows/hell-on-wheels[/ur] is where you want to go. Discussion, photos, video, and a Q&A with Common on the character are all on AMC's site.

I've been registered here for over 10 years. WOOOOOOW!
And he's the worst part of the show.
shareMore like one of the best parts of the show imo. He's a surprisingly good actor. I just really hope he returns for Season Four.
shareI think his acting is okay. It could use some work. We could all get better at our chosen professions I suppose. If we're supposed to think his character in Hell On Wheels is a jerk, then he definitely met that objective. Although I don't really listen to that genre much anymore, I like his lyrics.
shareAgreed. I think he's done okay. His character was at times likeable, at times not, but he has played Elam competently enough that I haven't been distracted. He doesn't come close to measuring up against my yardsticks of bad acting: the ever-awful Hayden Christensen and Jessica Alba.
