Actors Who Should Be Bigger Movie Stars
I think we can all agree on this.
Best known for: “Reno 911,” “Bridesmaids,” “The Goldbergs”
What’s next: “Claire’s Cambodia,” “A Friggin’ Christmas Miracle”
What’s missing: A thought occurred to me as I watched Wendi McLendon-Covey in her small, but flashy role in “Think Like a Man Too”: This woman is prepared for anything. The Groundlings vet can go broad or subtle with her comedy, and she approaches every comic moment with saucy confidence. Though we’re getting a regular dose of McLendon-Covey on “The Goldbergs,” I need more of her droll stylings on the big screen. Watch that “Bridesmaids” extra footage reel and tell me her off-the-cuff remarks about the smell of her home isn’t the funniest thing about it. – Louis Virtel
