Every movie that I have ever seen him in contained what is commonly known as goofy stupid or stupid funny humor. Give me Friday! Give me The Cable Guy! Give me South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut! Give me Death Becomes Her! But don't you damn dare give me something that pretty much doesn't even have a fucking plot!

This guy is, dare that I say it, THE WORST ACTOR IN THE HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He sucks!!!
