I got into this briefly when I looked at Bodied a few years ago, but Simon Rex has had an… interesting career. After his mainstream breakthrough as the lead in an extended 8 Mile spoof in Scary Movie 3, he then proceeded to embrace the meme and became a self-styled hip-hop artist. He’s done collabs with Mickey Avalon, the White Girl Mob, Riff Raff, Andy Milonakis, and other human-shaped memes from the late ‘00s and early ‘10s, and while he’s still been getting acting gigs during all this… the dude is always going to be Dirt Nasty to me. But then this came along and pulled a Best F(r)iends, bringing in an actor who has either been mildly ignored or laughed at instead of with up to this point, and giving him a role he could play perfectly.
