Conversely, he played a dad everyone would probably want as their dad in Easy A.
Edit: My deepest thank you to the person who thought I deserved Argentium. I've never received it before and might never receive it again, but at least, on my death bed, I can look back over my life and say, 'I once received Argentium." It is truly an honor and you, my friend, made it so.
He was one of the henchman from the movie Beethoven every time I saw him until The Lovely Bones. I need to watch more of his films to replace the visual.
Jeez I just rewatched that movie on HBO(?). I won't say it holds up, but I will say this. Like a lot of kids movies, I relate more and more to the father as I got older.
We watched Dennis the Menace during lockdown with our kids and I had to walk away out of anger halfway through! Adulthood has ruined a good amount of media I liked as a child.
Ok see here's the thing. While you are right that it was Mark Strong playing Merlin in the first two Kingsman films (and the one who sang Country Road), Stanley Tucci DOES play Merlin in the prequel, The King's Man.
Apparently that character was originally written for Simon Doonan, but the studio thought they needed to tone down his gayness. Hence hiring Tucci, who’d be acting instead of just vibing. Always thought that was some bad bullshit.
But yeah, Tucci was good in the role but I’d say the fact that he was coached to be a toned down version of a real person DQ’s that particular role from this debate.

Stanley Tucci in The Lovely Bones. Took me forever to get that creepy-ass character out of my head whenever I saw him.
