My Take
Eddie Griffin is fearless on a stage, and that's exactly what draws me to him. He came up as a stand-up comedian, and you can feel that live-wire energy in everything he does, the willingness to go where others won't. I have a real soft spot for Undercover Brother, where his comic timing carried the whole film, and his run as Eddie Sherman on Malcolm and Eddie was sitcom comfort food. The Deuce Bigalow turns showed he could steal scenes from anyone. What I appreciate is that he never sanded down his edges to be more palatable. That kind of uncompromising comic voice is harder to find than it should be.
