Cartwright's IMDB page paints a picture. He's certainly a successful working actor, but he hasn't had any long-term breakout roles yet, and he hasn't leveraged his recurring/guest spots into a film career. It makes perfect sense that he'd jump at the chance to be a day-one series regular on something. I'm glad he…

I don't watch a lot of Oscar Bait, but I think The Descendants should have won a special Oscar for trying so hard to win an Oscar. I'm not going to badmouth a movie with Judy Greer in it, or one where an old guy up and punches a teenager in the face, but still… baity bait bait bait bait.
