Dan O’Dowd and Sean Bridges do a fine job of acting in the Get Shorty TV series.

Get Shorty TV

Probably take me a week to get through it.

TV series like this have two benefits for actors – (1) experienced actors like Ray Ramano – loved him in every episode of Everybody Loves Raymond & The King of Queens – both from 1996-2005 – get another go-around – in his case he also gets a chance to redeem themselves by taking a role in 2019’s dreadful production of The Irishman.

(2) – Unknown actors – at least unknown to me – like Chris O’Dowd (58 credits but nothing I’ve seen) – and Sean Bridges (74 credits but nothing I’ve seen) – get starring roles to display their talent – they’re both good.

Little disappointed that only one guest star so far – Alan Arkin – turns 87 next month – almost didn’t recognize him.

IMDB describes 2017’s Get Shorty TV series like so: “The adventures of a mobster-turned-movie producer in Hollywood. TV show based on Elmore Leonard’s novel and subsequent film.”

Several similarities to Ray Donovan – O’Dowd is Irish – he and Sean Bridges do dirty work just like Ray – more examples of the sexual depravity common with Hollywood folk as a male star hires a male prostitute to pleasure him in his makeup trailer.

It’s good.

and I approve this message.

Warner Books published Born to Be Wild in 1992 & it still sells every day at Amazon & Kindle. True story about certain members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang.

The story takes 21 years to play out – with many twists & turns – an amalgam of Sons of Anarchy & Breaking Bad – but these outlaw bikers make the Sons look like Cub Scouts.
