MUCK AND MEYER

I just got done watching Herbie Fully Loaded with my kids and I gotta say that Linsday Lohan is quite a looker. I think I may have to purchase this film and encourage my kids to watch it over and over again.

However, the film features an actor, who I must say, has no talent, and pretty much no pulse whatsoever, yet he keeps getting tons of work. I'm talking, of course, about the bland Brecken Meyer.

As much as Tom Cruise infuriates me, at least the cat has talent. This Brecken Meyer kid has nothing. NOTHING. He's as interesting as a dead fly (even that's a stretch).

I used to find the fact that this cat keeps getting work more baffling than the fact that someone keeps greenlighting Rob Schneider movies. BUt then it dawned on me. The Meyer kid is damn smart.

While the Joacquin Phoenixes and Russ Crowes of the world keep going for this intense, acting-challening parts, this Meyer kid keeps taking the dull, white guy role.

Think about it (Road Trip, Rat Race, Herbie). He's the same guy - HIMSELF. Even his character on Inside Schwartz was the same - a non-interesting white guy.

He tried a little acting in Clueless (he was the stoner dude), but after that he learned to not try so hard.

I used to think he was a dope, but he's actually a genius. He'll work forever in Hollywood just being a big white blah. I see he's also staring in Garfield 2 as Jon. If there's a more dull, white dude than Garfield's owner, I can't find him. It's the role Meyer was born to play.
