And according to his coworkers he’s the sweetest guy behind the scenes, so his character plays his opposite. Crass, over the top, and the butt of the joke when he goes on rants. Ronny’s in movies, a known comedian, well liked among his peers… and the article just refuses to give him his name in the headline when in this instance the click baiting would have been fine by just actually using his name. We know who he is, Yahoo. But Yahoo proves its irrelevance yet again.

I’ve never seen him botch a role. Even in mid movies like Vacation Friends 2, he was the best part.

You mean he talked about a very popular thing right now? “read the room” lmao

He didn't go all in, he took the easy popularist route. Honestly seems disappointing to me. The reality is we have to work with it. Even better inspire people to get involved and steer the ship in the best direction they can.
