In the movie, The Descendants, George Clooney's character is looking for a man named Brian Speer. When he's sees his picture on a billboard he instantly recognizes him. Well, I recognized him also. Only I didn't see the character Brian Speer. Instead, I saw actor Matthew Lillard.
Mainstream audiences have seen him as Shaggy in the Scooby-Doo movies, but that series does nothing to showcase his true talents. He has a quirky intensity that makes his comic roles hilarious and his dramatic ones unique.
Either way you look at it, Matthew Lillard is a talented, unpredictable actor that is fun to watch in everything he does. He's at his very best in the movies, Scream, SLC Punk, The Curve and as a guest star on Law and Order SVU in an episode entitled Ballerina, but you really can't go wrong in watching anything he does.
He's one of those actors that adds a freshness and unique slant to all of his characters and makes each movie he's in a little more interesting. Matthew Lillard has been a working actor for quite a while now, and I don't see him slowing down in the near future, which is good news for any lover of interesting performances.

...and don't forget he was a STAR in the John Waters film "Serial Mom", as Chip. He was awesome in that one! :-)
