I guess he does have many credits as Shaggy. I thought he'd be known for being the main bad guy in Scream. And, on this platform, I thought we'd all go for Hackers. No, just me and u/zerocool?
HACK THE PLANET!
Oh shit! Cereal Killer became Shaggy‽ I would say that was typecasting, but I'm not trying to hate.
Im just going by what I saw people say when I first encountered tbh :3 I couldn't name you a single celebrity or what they've been in honestly, actor names is not a thing I ever paid attention to lol
I get that for people who had his live Shaggy role their entire lives. Scooby was primarily a cartoon for me. But I was surprised and understanding of him potentially being most famous for Shaggy, as he has like 20 credits to his name. Presumably for a lot of voice work
Honestly if not for this comment I wouldn't know he was the live action Shaggy and not the animated one haha. I never watched the live action ones (not that I'd recognize him even if I had tbh) :3
The cartoon was Casey Kasem, the tip 40 countdown guy.
He said on a podcast recently that Matthew Lillard was one of his least favorite actors.
Matthew Lillard Reacts To Quentin Tarantino’s “Humbling” Criticism Of His Acting: “It Hurts”
He also took some totally unnecessary shots at Paul Dano, saying he was the worst actor in the SAG. That's a bizarrely personal attack out of nowhere on a guy you never worked with.
Especially since Tarantino is a SAG actor.
That's crazy because Paul Dano is a good actor
So is Matthew Lillard. The whole thing feels oddly personal. Like if he had said "I didn't like Dano in There Will Be Blood" you could understand that's just a professional opinion. Maybe he thought someone else could have done better. But making it insulting undercuts his credibility as an impartial critic.
Frankly, I loathe the professional unwillingness to criticize anyone else. Some people frankly suck at acting, and they shouldn't have to be Wiseau bad before anyone says something.
Criticism is fine, when you're talking about someone's work and how to improve it. Calling someone "weak" and "the worst actor in the SAG" is deeply personal and insulting.
Revealing a personal bias in a professional setting belies unprofessional attitudes and prejudices. Tarantino isn't a critic, he's a filmmaker and an influential voice in the industry. Taking pot shots at a couple of B-list character actors is hurtful on a personal level, and wantonly destructive on a professional level. The power dynamic between producers and actors is massively unbalanced. It would be like the CEO where you work talking shit on LinkedIn about project managers at a rival company. If he's saying this publicly, what is he saying behind the scenes? Is he trashing actors to casting directors to influence their careers?
He has every right to say "I don't want these people in my movies." It would also be professional to say "I did not like this specific performance for these specific reasons." It's extremely unprofessional to say "I hate these people because of who they are and anyone working with them is on my shit-list."
Celebrities drum up drama about themselves to try to stay relevant when they shill whatever product they work on. He was talking shit about a couple actors in an interview or whatever and people defended the other person which just proliferated the fake drama further, he's probably got something coming out in 2026.
He's got too much money and he's bored. He's not working any more and no one cares about his stupid hot takes. Dude needs to work in a soup kitchen or food bank. He needs to do something useful.
