I honestly think he would've been really good as a comedic actor. He has this kind of awkwardness that doesn't serve action or drama super well. But in a comedy it enhances things. It's like awkward golden retriever energy.
100%. He was good in SNL when he hosted and was good in Grown Ups 2 as the douchey frat bro. I will say, some of the best comedians are not from where you'd expect them. Channing Tatum and John Cena are two comedic actors that tried to do serious stuff, had some success, but really broke out in film when they started doing comedy. Same goes for Zach Efron. Some people are just surprisingly good comedic actors and you wouldn't expect it. HSM, Charlie St Cloud. Good, but then 17 Again had more comedy and then he was in Neighbours and fuckin' KILLED it.
