Chris Elliott, Interesting Role
I’ve always been a fan of Chris Elliott. He might be best known for his roles in
There’s Something About Mary, Groundhog Day, a recurring role on Everybody Love Raymond and, apparently, a stint on Saturday Night Live (news to me), but to me he’ll always be The Guy Under the Seats on Letterman (where he was a staff writer for a few years).
Kind of a surprise then to see him while channel surfing in a bit of a departure role in the first of a two-part episode on Third Watch as a serial rapist/murderer.
I’ve been sorry that he’s never taken off to the extent I have always thought he deserved. I hope he’s just a big fan of a rather mediocre cop show or yearning to try to expand his acting skills and that this isn’t a sign of his career heading down the toilet.
