TV Actors Who Should Become Movie Stars

They rounded up the top 10. Even though I was pretty upset that they didn't count Michael C. Hall due to the excellent group work of Dexter, I was quite happy that another favorite of mine, Joel McHale, made the cut! [^.^]


Show: Community

Why: Because he has perfect comic timing. Even though we were fans of The Soup, we had our doubts that McHale could break out of that host role but after seeing his underrated supporting work on The Informant and watching him improve every week on Community, he clearly has the range and charisma to be a true star.

How to Do It: Find the deadpan wit roles that made your Community co-star Chevy Chase into a household name in the 1980s. McHale has an excellent way with a raised eyebrow or a clever quip and he could bring that intellectual style to a comedy genre so reliant on physical comedy nowadays. Team up with truly talented comedy directors (even though a lot of people missed it, The Informant was a great choice) like Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach, or Judd Apatow.
