While watching the Cubs lose, I saw a promo for a new Fox series starring Luis Guzman, whom you may remember from such films as … every movie you’ve seen in the last two years.
A P.T. Anderson regular, Guzman is the definitive character actor (e.g., he’s not conventionally handsome) who’s now starring in a TV sitcom called “Luis” this fall.
According to Fox’s press release, Luis is “the proud owner of a Spanish Harlem donut shop and the landlord of the building it’s in. But a dream is only a dream, and you’ve got to wake up sometime. He wakes up every day … to a cast of characters that includes an obnoxious elderly Irish woman who lives in a rent-controlled apartment; a Chinese delivery boy …” and so on.
It looks lame, but hopefully Guzman will make a little dough before it gets canceled so he’s got plenty of time to get back on the big screen.
