    Ohhh

    I didn't think there would be a fourth installment. I still like the second one the best. Also, I do like Chris Rock

    Chris Rock is like fingers on a blackboard to me. The only time I've liked him was in Fifth Element, where he was MEANT to be like fingers on a blackboard!

    But as I said, I trust Hawley enough to assume Rock will work somehow in Fargo.

    (Fargo the show, not Fargo the town. Unless there's a comedy bar there...)

    I don't trust Hawley that much.

    I'm not much of a Chris Rock fan, either, but I'll give it a go. Hopefully, my existing Pass will work. Seeing more and more shows for which the new season doesn't work with the existing Pass.

    Chris Rock the comedian? I like his standup but can’t imagine him acting. Loved Fargo 1 and 2. Season 3 not so much.

    All of this!

    Yeah, it's really difficult to imagine Chris Rock as anybody except Chris Rock. If he can pull it off - good on him.

    So, what you're saying is, you've never liked Chris Rock because Chris Tucker was in The Fifth Element.

    Heh, you're right.

    I guess I've never liked Chris Rock, period.

    I like Chris Rock doing stand-up. But he was pretty awful on SNL. Not sure I've seen him in any other acting roles.

    Looking at his IMDB page, it's surprising how many of his acting roles have him playing the character "Chris Rock".

    I like Chris Rock a lot. I'll have to be convinced about him doing drama, though.

    I've seen some things I've liked Chris Rock in (like Everybody Hates Chris) and some other things where he just didn't work for me. I've seen standup where I thought he was hysterical, and other stand up where I thought he was pretty bad. So jury is still out. As others have said, since it's Fargo, I'll give it a shot. Still loved the first three seasons so I have hope they can do a good job.

    Oh yeah - SNL. All I can remember is his big grin and wide eyes reading off the teleprompter. To be fair, live TV is a bit rough on most. And Will Farrel and Steve Martin and a few others have successfully done drama. And if I had been the casting director for Breaking Bad, there's no way I would have thought of Bryan Cranston.

    I thought he was pretty good in New Jack City.

    Chris Rock has done lots of acting.

    On the local newscast this morning they mentioned that they are currently filming some scenes in Riverside, Illinois, a Chicago suburb not far from me.

    So I assume the new season is scheduled for next year?
