In the News-- Judd Nelson

[rabid1st]

Apparently, a recent Oscar appearance by Judd Nelson has created a "Web Frenzy!" And led to some rather snippy fashion comments.

Personally, I think Judd sort of rocked a post Sherlock Holmes look in his Oscar night tribute. This goes along nicely with he and Robert Downey, Jr. being frequently mistaken for one another back in the John Hughes day. I call that irony and I bet Judd does, too. However, I must say that when Judd popped up on Psych a couple of weeks ago I LOLed. And perhaps there was something of a web frenzy among Psych fans over the episode. But none of us would dream of insulting the man or his wardrobe.

We are an intimate fandom that enjoys the ironic open pitching for Ax Body Spray for Men in the text of our show and also lives for obscure John Hughes film references. Every Psych fan is aware that Shawn Spencer has passed himself off as Judd Nelson. So we all consider landing Judd Nelson for a role in Psych to be a highlight of our viewing year.

Maybe we are not completely aware of how far down the alphabet from the C-List Judd has fallen in recent times. But we do love the guy and we don't really have to look him up online to remember how awesome he can be.

i just caught the Psych episode with Judd and thought he was wonderful as the quirky research scientist. (The bit about wanting to measure Gus's head was LOL funny.) I think that JUdd has developed into a great character actor in his later years, and i personally love the work he has done on the "B" list. (His "Cabin by the Lake" movies were perfect showcases for his quirky psycho portrayals.)
