Bad actor who’s already typecasted


He’s terrible in Stranger Things and was really bad in The Turning. He was solid in IT, but’s that all. Now he’s in the new Ghostbusters and he’s playing the same role from Stranger Things. He’s typecasted himself just to get roles.

What do you mean by that?

reply

Never heard of it !

reply

You just posted it though, so clearly you had some thoughts in mind

reply

Judging by the response to me, there aren't many thoughts going through that poster's brain.

reply

I'm getting tired of replying to obviously disingenuous posts.

reply

I'm not being disingenuous and don't deflect from your post

Are Jews in charge of casting now? Was that what you just implied?

reply

Stop ! Are you saying you're not being disingenuous, is that what you're implying !?

reply

You posted something and I asked you to clarify...I wanted you to explain your statement....still no clarity

Who is being disingenuous here Quasimodo?

reply

You are of course.

reply

Explain how

reply

disingenuous - not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

reply

Well I know what it means silly but what was your post about???

You still have yet to explain why you had to bring jews and nepotism into a chat about a particular young actor

Own your post and explain the oddness of it or expect a bit of questioning

reply

So on top of disingenuousness you add fake outrage and a posture of fake authority. Well I've had more than enough of this bullshit for one day.


reply

Frankly, you seem
outraged for being called out on your very likely anti-Semitic post

Leaving the field at this point shows an admittance of defeat and what you posted has still not been defended

I asked you a simple question and you bailed...

I'm no authority at all but you seem like you are avoiding a discussion you added your two cents too

I'll see you around, be well

reply

Alright I'll ask you a question. Do you deny that there is nepotism in the entertainment industry ?

reply

YOURE STARTING TO SOUND LIKE A DISCOUNT LAWYER WITH AN EXPENSIVE THESAURUS.

TIME FOR THE CAVALRY TO COME TO THE RESCUE EH KOWALSKI ? BEFORE SHOGUN GETS BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER AND SHOWN UP AS A FRAUD !


reply

AS A UNBIASED THIRD PARTY...YOU SAID SOMETHING,THEY ASKED YOU TO ELABORATE..THATS WHEN YOU STARTED VERBALLY DANCING,SO TO SPEAK.

reply

UNBIASED KOWALSKI ? YEAH OKAY WHATEVER YOU SAY...

reply

UNBIASED AS IT APPLIES TO STRANGERS ON A WEBSITE..YES.

reply

There is nepotism in many businesses

Is your point that it's 'The Jews' behind it all?

reply

Is your point that it's 'The Jews' behind it all?

You're like a pit bull with a death grip on that point aren't you. You figure you can pin the label of anti-semite on me and get yourself another scalp.

Anyway (and leaving your reprehensible motives aside) as you acknowledge that there is such a thing as nepotism then naturally it follows that there is such a thing as Jewish nepotism and of course nepotism in all countries. So what are you going on about ?

This is a thread about Finn Wolfhard who is Jewish. The kid is not a terrible actor but he's not a good one either. And he is wooden, that is stiff and self conscious about his body. As far as I'm concerned that is a serious problem for an actor and if they can't get it out of their system they shouldn't be employed as one.

So in my opinion he was cast not on the basis of merit but more likely because of nepotism. Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter was another case of the same thing in my opinion. Nice kid but he couldn't act to save himself and he could be so self conscious and anxious in front of the camera it was painful to watch.



reply

YOU SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF STRONG,HARD OPINIONS ON YOUNG MALE ACTORS....

reply

You specified 'Jewish 'and it was not necessary

reply

Huh?

reply

Glumph ?

reply

Give the poor kids some credit.

At least he hasn't plastically shot off 3/4 of his nose like some fake hollywood star.

He's actually a good little actor.



reply

TYPECAST AS WHAT? A SKINNY KID? THATS WHAT HE IS.

reply

Stranger Things, IT, and the new Ghostbusters all about some small town where some mysterious or bad happens and he plays the same type of character in all three. Not hard to figure out.

reply

A SKINNY KID...THE SIZE OF THE TOWN DOESNT IMPACT THE CHARACTER.

reply

Wow you’re an idiot

reply

WHAT CHARACTER IS HE TYPECAST AS?


SKINNY BOY KID?


reply

I've wondered if he's at risk of being typecast as a "throwback 80s nerd" after his first 2 big roles have been Stranger Things and IT. He looks the part, but how long can that last?

reply

THROWBACK 80S NERD....LMAO...OK,THAT I CAN SEE...YEAH,DUDE SHOULD GET A 90S FLICK OR SOMETHING...

reply

He is definitely not playing even remotely similar characters in Stranger Things and It.

reply

Really? Because he acts the same exact way he just is much less annoying in IT.

reply

you know what ? i have to agree with you here finn wolfhard is one of the worst actors out there.
