I know it’s a random thought but what I mean is there are a lot of actors that have another actor who is similar but not nearly as good an actor as the original.
For instance-
Jason Lee is a shitty version of Ryan Reynolds
Jimmy Fallon is a shitty version of Justin Long
Greg Kinnear is a shitty version of William Shatner (I didn’t think it was possible either)…
I happen to think this theory is nonsense. I mean, the basis for comparison seems very arbitrary. Also, I’d personally take Jason Lee (in Kevin Smith films, at least) over Ryan Reynolds any day.
Well, I would accept the theory if the similarities were more numerous and the connections stronger. I can almost see Jason Lee and Ryan Reynolds, as both have played boisterous, slackerish characters. But Greg Kinnear and William Shatner??
