He just had a bit of bad luck. He had a good role on Canterbury's Law... too bad the show didn't get viewers, otherwise I thought it was a promising series (even though I don't like Margulies). He was also on last season's The Unusuals with a recurring role, though I only saw one episode of the series and didn't like it.
Seems a bit like The Wire situation, you see many of them around, though I think there are a couple that still seem to be waiting for a good role. Though quite a few look like they're doing movies.
Yeah...it's almost a double edged sword for these guys though I think...on the one hand, they've endeared themselves to millions of americans. On the other hand, they've endeared themselves to millions of Americans playing a very unique and well written character. How do you move on from that? Where does Bodie go? Micheal moved on the freakin 90210!
Some of those guys are just so talented they can just move on. They're pros...guys like Seth Gilliam (Carver), Dominick West (McNulty), Cedric Daniels, Rawls, Stinger Bell...they won't have any problem finding work.
But I think what stinks is that actors that played characters like Snoop, Cutty..etc.. I think the role was so good that they're just gonna get typecast. Good one on Marlo for doing Heroes..he could've played gangster for his whole career, but he makes a really decent bad guy, regardless of if he's selling drugs or has super powers.
