Nobody Wants Woody

78 Comments

[Blind Gossip] Many members of this ensemble TV show have gone on to big, exciting movie careers!

The show is a great training ground because you get to play a variety of characters and learn a lot about working under pressure and shifting gears quickly to accommodate rewrites.

So this cast member can expect a huge movie career after he’s done with the show, right?

He’s not drawing any interest from producers. He’s just kind of a one note actor and a little wooden compared to everyone around him. I don’t know what he’s going to do after this, but if he planned on being a movie star, I think he’s going to be really disappointed. Hope he realizes that this is probably his peak.

    • I think he’ll do stand-up and hopefully take some acting classes. Hopefully also continue with mental health treatment. He could go on to do good work, but he’ll have to put the time in and learn the craft. Like @BluntSavage, I wish him the best and want him to be successful. He’s young. He has time. But he needs to stop with the arm candy to get attention, and put his focus on furthering his career.

    • That’s a really nice thing to say. Totally agree – I hope good things come to him.

    • Agree with Alexis Rose. Hopefully Pete comes to the same conclusion and focuses on honing his craft and going far with it.

    • I hope he succeeds as well. He seems way too nice for his own good, making him an easy target for scheming women. Maybe acting classes? Directing or writing? I’m all for addicts getting help and leading productive lives.

    • Yeah, I thought John Mulroney stepping in to help a younger comic was so kind. JM talks about his substance issues in his act so he knows the struggle first hand. But if Pete doesn’t really WANT the help, the help won’t help. But I do hope the best for him.

    • “you get to play a variety of characters” on GAME OF THRONES? Huh? And who from that show has gone on to huge movie success? It has got to be SNL if you look at the legacy.

  20. Actor: Kit Harington

    TV is his best bet if not he’ll do a few indies, maybe a few action flicks but on a longer run it’s dead unless he gets a marvel gig or something.

  22. Had to think on this one but overthought it and thought it was something like This Is Us when it could acrtually be the obvious which is Saturday Night Live and the actor is Pete Davidson . He has star status now, obviously has John Hamm’s special gift , and is hilarious in that skit where he plays a stunted growth , aloof, live at home late 20s something adult but is that really a stretch or just him being himself. Yes I think this is Pete Davidson .

  31. i assume this is a blind about “american horror story,” because the cast has had the opportunity to play multiple characters, not only per season, but also frequently per episode. but i don’t know who the actor is. evan peters is already kind of a “movie star” because of x-men… and it’s clearly not about a woman, anyway. sarah paulson and taissa farmiga went onto to huge movies.

    finn witrock, maybe?…

    • I know, right? It was funny in the day, and has recovered from some serious rating slumps, but why is it still on? Is NBC trying to break some sort of longevity record by keeping it on the air? It has to cost more than it’s worth!

  39. Someone from SNL. Haven’t watched it in decades, so don’t know enough about anyone’s acting skills.

    I do recall a story a year or two back about the size of one cast member’s junk, so I’m gonna say Pete Davidson is Woody…

  40. Pete Davidson? The related blind is about him I believe and “Woody” could be related to the big you-know-what rumors…

    He’ll be irrelevant probably

  43. Pete Davidson on SNL. Watched a video of him on YouTube earlier of him acknowledging his limited acting skills, saying that when he’s not on SNL, any ‘acting’ he’s doing is just a version of himself. He’ll probably be doing standup.
