Samm Levine Is A Geek And A Bastard![]()
Popular myth is that every single person who was ever on Freaks and Geeks or Undeclared has gone on to be a superstar thanks to Judd Apatow. But Samm Levine is one member of the original pack who has been tragically underused. He played the hilarious Neal Schweiber on Freaks and Geeks and popped up on an episode or two of Undeclared before slipping into the oblivion of television guest spots.
But now pretty much the last person you would expect has picked up on the talent that Apatow abandoned. Well, maybe Quentin Tarantino isn't the absolute last person you'd expect, given how strange the casting for Inglorious Bastards has been so far. Yes, Ain't It Cool is reporting that Levine will join the team of Nazi-killers led by Brad Pitt across Europe, in the strangest war movie we may ever see. As AICN points out, pretty much every war movie always has a baby-faced soldier, and Levine totally fits the part-- think the role played by Jay Baruchel in Tropic Thunder. I had the unfortunate task of seeing Levine play a horny fraternity brother named Spanky in the Amanda Bynes vehicle Sydney White, and I figured it couldn't possibly get worse from there. Maybe, if Inglorious Bastards doesn't turn out to be a gigantic mess, this is Levine's chance to get the roles he deserves. |
