  1. Aw man. That would have been awesome. I met Rob Ford one time outside of a Rona. It was a few weeks before he went to rehab. Interesting guy.

  3. Be careful. Someone is going to feel that empty space and is now your competitions.

  4. PWH is a bad ass. He fought in a hardcore wrestling match this past week and completely won me over.

  5. Colin Farrell should do it. He plays a really good/bad fat guy.

  7. The Assassination of Jimmy Johns. By the fatass Robert Ford.

  8. Paul Hauser is the man! He won’t even badmouth his wife to fit in at a sleepover.

  9. Man only if Chris Farley was alive.

    There was a guy in tv I just can’t remember who it was but he would be a dead ringer for Rob’s brother Doug

  13. I love Paul and respect his decision, but lord, he would be great in this.

  14. I’m just going to savour the phrase, “chubby idiot ne’er-do-well”. Such an apt description of Rob “Graves” Ford, brother of Dug “Graves” Ford, a family of utterly grifting sleazeballs.

  16. Did he expect them to want Michael Cera? If you’re a bigger guy, they’re gonna cast you to play a bigger guy.

  17. They should just get K. Trevor Wilson, from Letterkenny, to play the role. I bet he would kill it.

  18. Come on! He never takes the part! He says he’s gonna and he never takes the part!

  19. He is such a great actor! This kindness really comes through. He is one of my favorite new actors to come out in the last couple of years.
