Molly Dodd's brother was played by John Glover (Lionel Luther on Smallville) and yes, he's from Maryland and used his native accent on Molly Dodd.

Because books.
Oh, John Glover is another good one! Although maybe he's past character actor status by now?

Cousin! Molly's cousin!
Hec and I just had this conversation: Molly Dodd was a Fandom Daddy Convention. You had Kendra's (Bianca Lawson) actual real-life dad (Richard Lawson, who played Detective Hawthorne, John Glover as her cousin, the dude who played the Tam's father as Fred, her ex-husband, and Vincent "The Motherfucking Man" Garber (SPY DADDY!) as Denny, her jerkwad ex-lover!
Man, show was good.
DVD NOW! Damn it.

I've dearly loved John Glover in a lot of stuff, but his performance in Batman and Robin is a serious stumbling block. Over-the-top camp can be done well (and sometimes—as is the case with Richard Roxburgh's Dracula—can be the lone saving grace of a crappy movie), but that sure wasn't.

Uhmm... It's apparently about the deadly cut throat world of ping pong tournaments.

I'm reminded of Bill Murray in Kingpin.

Wow, I managed the supress the fact that Glover was even in that movie. Who was he? The only character I can think of that he might have been was the professor in charge of the project that Uma got mutated into Poison Ivy during.

That's him. The one with Bride of Frankenstein-style white streaks in his hair and beard. And Bride of Frankenstein-style acting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Saw Dreamgirls tonight, and liked it a lot. Didn't love it, but that may have had more to do with the fact that the guild screening audience we saw it with was annoyingly distracting. (Applause at the end of a really good movie, I understand, but clapping and hooting and hollering after EVERY FRIGGING SONG? Dudes, it's a MOVIE. Jennifer Hudson CAN'T HEAR YOU.)
Speaking of Jennifer Hudson, she's clearly meant to be the breakout star of the film, but she's not an actress. She's got an amazing voice, and she sings the hell out of her big numbers, but she's not playing a character, she's performing the music. And since she has to carry most of the emotional weight of the film, it's a problem. I really wish they'd cast that role from Broadway instead of American Idol.
The best performance in the film is Eddie Murphy -- he steals every scene he's in. Just fantastic.
