Had he been able to work that out, and had the ensuing counterfactual X-Men films with a Gambit character been any good, he could have blunted the "strong ID with Sawyer" problem right there.<br /><br />I think now, whether or not there's an ID-with-Sawyer issue at its root, it could be that he's just been out of the pop culture eye for too long.

The problem he may be facing is that he's so identified with playing Sawyer that it's hard for him to get another part.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-4486928028592145782012-03-11T16:50:04.181-04:002012-03-11T16:50:04.181-04:00We've watched it from the beginning.

They have been telling in bits and pieces through flashbacks how he came to be a broken man and it seems that is supposed to be a big waving read flag to show rather than tell how far gone he was. <br /><br />And for those of you who haven't been watching and thought he was flat this week...well let's just say that by far this episode showed the most emotional range of the season.

I'd watched a couple eps already early on, and had given up on it. I tuned in to the scene where Jim climbs in to Taraji's car, and they banter a bit. Seriously, it's a joke he's playing on everyone, right? He's TERRIBLE. Like, aggressively, actively terrible. Wooden doesn't even begin to describe it. It can't be real. <br /><br />And I agree that Holloway would have been great in the role! They'd have had to tweak the show a bit, but Emerson would have been a great straight foil against his easy charm.
