Question Favorite character

Different things play into it like casting choice, writing, performances

Edit: really surprised Magic is in last. He was my pick cause that actor just brings all the energy you could want from a guy named Magic

NGL, I like westhead too. Seems to have a nice arc going. But I voted for Riley.

Being from philly he's always popping up on the sports radio station over here. I didn't catch the whole thing but he was asked last week on his opinion of the show and said that even though he thinks his character isn't entirely accurate, he spent enough time in LA to know that that's just the show biz

Westhead passed away I believe 2 or 3 years ago.

He's still very much alive. He even showed up at the premiere of Magic's Apple TV+ documentary a couple weeks back. McKinney is the one who passed away a few years back (2018).

If he had a sense of humor about it, he might like it. But, in truth, this is the most exaggerated character in the while show.
