Totally agree......the recast didn't make Todd his own......he made a whole new character because he definitely isn't Todd to me, never has been and never will be!
@rockwello and Bjujubee - OMG I couldn't have said it better than you guys here. Trevor created something new, piggybacking off the popularity of Roger's character.
I can't stand all the "TSJ made it his own" comments either! It's true that he made it his own as any actor has to do when taking on a role...whether it's been done by another actor previously or not, but what TSJ didn't do...which is something that's also very important...he didn't stay true to the character.
It's also the WRITING that destroyed the character of Todd, but when I think of the few scenes I've been able to remember after 2003, and imagine RH in them, I still think he would have done lightyears better. However, the Marty and Todd thing makes me ill. Todd never would have done what was done to her, in a million years after all of their history.
Remember to keep the posts positive, it is all in fun! A good hint is to use the @symbol when directing a comment at a specific person who posted prior to you, if you choose.
Tired of the "recast made Todd his own." Yes, he made him his own....boring! LOL

@Precious - HE DID make it his own, that's the trouble.
ReplyDeleteThe "TSJ made Todd his own" line feels like a bad cliche at this point.
ReplyDelete@Precious. You said it perfectly. Every recast makes his/her character his/her own. That doesn't mean everyone is right for every part.
