Dave Sheridan

Dave Sheridan is proof that a single role can define a whole career, and that's not a knock. His Special Officer Doofy in Scary Movie, that goofy spoof of Scream's Dewey, is genuinely one of the more memorable bits in the parody genre, and I still quote it without realizing it. What I appreciate is that he's more than that one part, working as a writer and musician alongside his film and television acting out of Newark, Delaware. Comedy this broad is harder than it looks, and he commits fully. I'd happily watch him steal scenes in anything that leans into the absurd.
