- Ashlyn Williams at 6:14am on September 25th, 2009
- I enjoy seeing him in comedies and I wanna see all high dramatic work as well. I wish that he would do more films with his shirt off though. I love George of the Jungle for the pure shirtlessness of the film.

- Brenda N. Fraser tries too hard to be funny. Part of me wishes this guy would have a monotone, then he would at least quit being the way he is. When someone tries too hard, it has the potential to cancel out the desired effect. He tries too hard to be funny. At best, he is commical; but he is more often stupid than funny.
