By the way, did you ever see the TV movie, 'The Three Stooges', that aired in 2000? I saw the movie again last year and after seeing many episodes of 'The Shield', it was truly hilarious seeing Michael Chiklis in the role of Curly.
I saw it when it came out.... Didn't even realize it was him in that part. But I can see him in that part, strangely enough.
Only other thing I have seen him in (that I knew it was him) Was Fantastic Four... He made a darn good "Thing". (only bought that DVD because it has Jessica Alba in it. :-)
He is a darn good actor... In the 'real life' things (Interviews; 'behind the scenes' DVD special features from the F4 DVD etc.) I have seen him in, he seemed like a really sweet, polite and gentle guy.
Good darn writers on 'The Shield' too... Can't forget to give them credit too.
