I thought this had a cut; add one, please.

I really just get true theater kid from him.
However 4 months off? That’s it? Damn.

Thats the usual for broadcast tv. They also get most weekends and holidays off as well so seems pretty great to me considering the money they make.

Would he have played Smith's role?

[a_files06]

Yes

I unfortunately can't see him as anyone but Ross so the idea of him in that role...

It could have still been a fun/funny movie but COMPLETELY different style and direction.

More bumbling buffoon than cool rogue-ish newbie

[deja_vu822]

what part would he have done? outside of maybe the alien i really can't imagine him in it

[butifildisaster]

What role? All I can picture is him walking up to an alien and going “Hi” in his sad Ross voice.
