    Why would anyone make a 2003 Syracuse movie?

    He got it wrong. I couldn't care less about KJames being heavy.

    I'm saying that THIS PARTICULAR ROLE requires him to approximate Payton's looks. Should be disciplined enuf to shed the weight, even if it's just to film for a few months.

    LOL. Probably true.

    Jim Rome did a pretty good bit on KJames playing SPayton. How do u think SPAYTON felt when he heard who was playing him?

    AGENT: "We inked the deal. They tried out 3 actors to play you in the movie. The role was highly sought out, they picked a winner today."

    SPAYTON: "Oh, yeah? Who'd they pick? Alec Baldwin?"

    AGENT: "Nope."

    SPAYTON: "Kevin Costner?"

    AGENT: "Nope. They picked Kevin James."

    SPAYTON: "No, really. Who'd they pick?"

    Speaking of fat it was James's fat head that got that show cancelled in the first place.

    Nothing against James, I'm sure in private life he's a nice guy with redeeming qualities and all but IMO he's not very funny.

    That follow up sit-com "Kevin Can Wait', two words come to mind.
    Epic Failure.

    "Mall Cop"
    Yeah, that was a box office bonanza I tell you.
    Dude, no. Kevin James was awesome on King of Queens. I agree he's not great in anything else, the only thing you laugh at is how terrible his projects are, but sometimes its just that one role for an actor. Ashton Kutcher as Kelso comes to mind. He killed that character, everything else complete dogshit. And you're talking about the show getting canceled, but it lasted 9 season with him as the lead. Thats a lifetime for the majority of sitcoms. Great show, great character, but I will agree with you on one thing that arthur spooner was better

    My wife for instance thought James was killer also in KoQ.
    When it comes to comedy everyone has their individual tastes, nobody is right and nobody is wrong but to me James is a hack.
    Hey, I don't dislike him or anything.

    I agree with Kutcher, he nailed the Kelso role.

    Know who is in my GOAT top ten list?
    John Ritter in Three's Company.
    I know people who hated that role, to me Jack Tripper was EPIC!

    Andy Kaufman's Latka. Another epic role.

    Comedy to me is all about timing, I just think James doesn't have it.

    I mean its hard to last 9 seasons with the lead of what.... 2 main characters in that show not being funny? While the other lead (Leah) is thought of as a c-word by most. Its not like Friends where they had 6 mains, or Seinfeld with 4, it was James and a c-word for 9 seasons. He had to have done something right

    Never actually watched 3's company, but I did just watch problem child again lol. Im a fan of his and I will say 8 simple rules wasnt a terrible show

    He was not the lead of the show Topher Grace was until he went to Africa, and it is like a 6 way tie for second character. The show is basically set at Eric's house are you serious.

    We are assuming that they are using Paytons name + nfl names, etc

    But it's very likely they may not get rights or licensing agreements to do so

    Therefore it'll be like Casino or Departed where they take creative license w likeness and change names but tell the story accurately.

    Lol I never once said he was a lead. Just a guy that was great at a character and pretty much nothing else in his career

    I mean I already said Arthur Spooner was better. Actually one of the best characters ever imo. He just wasnt the lead or didnt get close to enough screentime to carry the show for 9 years

    I agree. However: We went to see a taping of King of Queens. When we got in and seated, the warm-up guy came on and talked about the episode we would see. He made sure to mention that Jerry Stiller WAS in this episode and everybody clapped. I think he really helped the show and completed the ensemble. RIP.
