Yeah, admittedly I have not seen Putnam County Spelling Bee, so I concede the point that I cannot judge Fogler based on any performances other than the ones in terrible movies. I think that the that sticks out to me though, that is in Good Luck Chuck...a truly bad movie...Fogler was, in my mind, the worst part of it. Now I understand that it has a lot to do with the character he was given, but he is also written in such a way as to be the "comic sidekick." It's impossible to say he ruined to movie, since it was broken right off the bat, but the way he played his character was more cringe inducing for me than any moment with Jessica Alba's notorious acting.
Let me say this, though...I realize Balls of Fury and Good Luck Chuck probably aren't good starting points. But if he's up and coming, I would guess he's done something which would make Matty put him in the #1 slot. So is it just based off of Putnam County Spelling Bee and Matty's assertion that Fanboys is going to be a starmaker? Or are we going off of anything else he has acted in on film that one could actually check out? I'll give the guy a chance...but I am a wee bit skeptical
