Some actors only have one character they can perform

In Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the sunset strip" he was quite different than his role on Friends and he did a pretty good job. He was also good in his minor role in the tv show "The good wife", where he played a sociopathic, smug character. I also found him enjoyable in the romantic comedy movie "Fools rush in" with Salma Hayek, although his character was very similar to Chandler Bing. He was also very good in the small independent film "Numb", where he played a character who suffers from depersonalization disorder and played it with subtlety, managing to be charming and convincing.

But in the first two seasons of "The odd couple", which I don't like at all, it was as if he was trying so hard not to imitate Walter Matthau and at the same time not repeat his Chandler Bing patterns that he did not act at all, he just stood there yelling his lines. In the promo of the third season that I saw, he now acts exactly the same as Chandler Bing. I think he is a good actor in general, both in comedic and dramatic roles, but "The odd couple" is a mess. He seems undecided on how to play the character, because the character itself lacks depth, just as the other characters on this mess of a show. Sorry for bashing it, but it's just an honest opinion.
