I confess, I watched My Name Is Earl last week. Not that I'm ashamed of the show, rather that it is a source of cash for Cruisitology Scientology. Jason Lee, most guest stars, and who knows who else belong to the cult. So I have this thing about not watching because I don't want to support them even though I love the show. Not that they care. Or that anybody else cares, for that matter, but I do and I feel like I'm taking some kind of moral stand. I know, I need to get a life and get over it.
With that disclaimer, Ethan Suplee (Earl's dimwitted brother Randy) broke into an acting riff and I was really impressed. Randy was playing the president in a movie they were making within the episode and it turned out he was the only one that could act so he gave the rest of the cast some acting advice.
I'm so used to watching this guy play Randy that I really hadn't considered that he's probably a classically trained actor in the role of a dumbass. My favorite part is when he gets to Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. I jumped a foot!

Please don't ever "get over it." Our principles and ethics are what set us apart from those who don't give a shit. I doubt Walmart, Manhunt, Crackerbarrel and others care if they don't get my money, but I care about not giving it to them.If we don't stand for something, we stand for nothing.
I'm with Kathy Griffin; Scientology is one of those things where I like someone until I find out they're into it, then afterwards - not so much...
I've always liked Jason Lee, but now I like him a little bit less in a way, although in another way, I hope he can find his way free from that mind control cult.
I'll still watch "My Name Is Earl" though.
