[@gorky1986]

Will Forte is so gentle here...so fragile...like a little bird...

[@w.lester255]

He has a more nuanced and sweet masculinity, for sure

[@CUStudioFilms]

When John tells him to disrobe and Will's embarrassed and says "I'm so intimidated. Look at your body." There's some really good acting there, which also seems to be coming from a real part of him. That might be why Will never made it bigger than SNL. Show business is brutal. Execs care more about Money than People. Will seems like the total opposite of that. Some people just aren't thick skinned enough for all the pain, rejection, and Douchebaggery that the Hollywood elite subject on artists. Whatever Will's doing now, I hope he's Strong, Smart, and Happy. Because his gentleness here makes me feel like he's a guy who knows one very important thing. People are more important than Money. TRUTH. From The Cheap Bastards :)

[@sarahdixon6011]

He's a tremendous character actor.

[@melissasaint3283]

@@CUStudioFilms Ironically, he went to school to be, and initially became, a broker like his Dad! But it didn't make him happy and he left that career to pursue comedy and performance.

[@CUStudioFilms]

@@melissasaint3283 Very interesting. Thanks for the info! Btw you have a wonderful name. I always like to put Saint in front of people's names when they're actually good people and they have names from the Bible. I'm not religious. But in many cases, I've found people named after saints sort of become good people in order to live up to their name.

[@emmalucas5379]

The characters were too wholesome for this to even feel weird or sexual. He just wants him to succeed

Wrong. From an interview by Pam Grady: At Acalanes High School, he was the freshman class president. He was on the football and swim teams. “I was not a great swimmer,” he says with a laugh. (I could not find any information about him being a champion or swimming at UCLA but he did work on the show Adult Swim.)
