I hope people can get past it. He's a good actor and deserves more work. First thing I saw him on was a British show called Misfits that was pretty good.
Wiley.
Small world, I forgot about that show.. Pretty good actually... Even though the actor plays a similar typecast: Frickin weird.
Hopefully, like you said, he can break out of the typecast with this one. Will probably watch because ya know... airplanes.
