Re: Recast Foggy?

I've seen a lot of interviews with Elden because I liked Foggy and I wanted to know what the actor was like behind the character. TBH my first impression of Foggy was not good. I mistook him for Jack Black at first and the acting kind of cemented it for a few minutes? I was so D: at first. And I know they shot some episodes out of order and maybe it had a lot to do with the Matt/Foggy relationship but I really reallllly appreciated Nelson vs Murdock; I was buying Elden as Foggy by then. But his after S1 interviews? Yeah, he comes off as a little blase, a little indifferent, with the exception of one where they asked him if he liked the new DD suit (augh, not even a question about Foggy, but about DD!) and poor Elden kind of lit up a little and said yeah, everybody on set was all about the new DD suit and he said that he really wanted to try it on but they only made it in one size and Elden said he was too fat to fit into it. :( :( :( iirc he said something similar in another interview previously, except he said that he'd had too many donuts at the craft table and the DD suit was a sample size, way too small for him, but he laughed. And the second interview where he says he was 'TOO FAT' he was smiling but he seemed also a little challenging about it?

Look, OP, I hope he's not a jerk in his after S2 interviews, I really do, I hope he doesn't do the red carpet premiere thing again about DD being just a paycheck but if he does, well, it's cool, he's an actor, we don't all love our jobs, either, and he's entitled to be a normal guy. Fandom won't love him for it, that's for sure, but he's entitled to his opinions. I mean, he said some really appreciative things about Charlie Cox's amazing ass lol so I don't think Elden would have a problem with the Matt/Foggy stuff if he ever got harassed about it, and he seems to be sensitive to gendered issues, so as long as he's not a raging asshole, I'm sure fandom will still appreciate him in the role, yknow? Hey, at least Foggy is a ray of sunshine even if Elden isn't.
