quotewoodman: Kevin ...Sir...I remember listening to O & A on 92.3 while you were shooting the movie and you were supposed to call in and talk about Jim Nortons performance....I either left my car ...or it was time for the walk over ...but may I ask How Mr. Norton did?


Kevin Smith: He did. It's only a cameo, but he knocked it out of the park.

[kloraferm]

nice

[Hudson]

what's he gonna say? He fucking sucked Moose Cock???

[Balls_Mahoney]

butttttt WHAT DID HE DO WITH HIS HANDS? I MUST KNOW.

[mikeybot]

With his history with the show at this point and having done radio many times, if Yimmy did suck, he would have made a point to call in because it would have made for good entertainment and publicity.
Plus, if anything, Kevin is pretty honest about things.

Yay Yimmy!

Mr Smith wouldda made a point f it if lil Jimmy sucked.

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Yimmy the fluffer should get his own movie!

[Radioguy]

I wonder what Kevin's definition of "cameo" is. One line?

[Deadbent]

Well, that was most informative.

[UsedLadBag]

At least he didn't say: "well he did a really good job, however it just didn't fit in with the final edit and these decisions are always tough and sometimes directors have to cut out really good preformances, so you won't see it in theaters but we hope to put it back in for the extended edition on the DVD"

[DC Chick]

I wonder what Kevin's definition of "cameo" is.
Think Jason Lee in Clerks 2. Short enough to shoot in a day, but long enough for the audience to say Hey, it's that guy.

[ChuckiesChalupa]

Has he ever been asked about how large a roll he played in his movie Smalltown Gaybar? lol

View Askew Productions made it and his name and Scott Mosiers name were in the credits

Just wondering

[oandapartycock]

what's he gonna say?

"He doesn't stink, and I LOOOOOOVE him."

[Big Fat Steve]

God damn Kevin Smith is one of the coolest and most down to earth celebs that you can find.

[Newmania]

Way to be Billy Brief Kevin. Seriously, it'll be nice to see Jimmy in a big-screen flick, cameo or not.

He put his support behind it for the director Malcolm Ingram, a good friend of his and Mosier's. Ingram's sat in on a few Smodcasts and declared during one that he would cut off his pinky if he got the Canadian PM's name wrong. He did.

Either way I love Jimmy in a non gay way...Any man that doesnt needs to re examine his life...Kevins movies (for the most part rock)...Ahhhh man the first time I ever ever ever saw clerks!!! wow....

I listen to the smodcast when I can I need an XM home kit damnit!!! Anyone got a spare ??? Im po...

[Minhaj]

[TreeFortRichard]

[Minhaj]

hes at a audition for 2 seconds. i forgot what he said but it wasnt memorable like kevin smith said it would. something to do with balls.

[Capt.Caveman]

did you get a screeners copy?

[MrBobTV]

I'm glad Yimmy made the final cut into the film.

And as you can guess from my sig pic, I don't just like Kevin Smith...

I LOVE him!

Mal is a fucking howl.

[TallBaby]

Jimmy probably plays something completely unexpected, like a senator or a black rights activist.

Plus, if anything, Kevin is pretty honest about things.I don't think he would go out of his way to insult Jimmy if he wasn't happy with the performance. If it was really bad, he would just cut it out of the movie and then call it a timing issue when asked about it down the road.

[RobOnt]

Saw the movie at TIFF, he's in a montage where they're coming up with titles for the porn they're doing.... it's like 3 seconds top...

[JackFromBoston]

Jim Norton will make even 3 short seconds pure gold. Look at his lil' role in GTA4... wasn't too big, but it had me laughing my ass off.

[BeerBelly]

I hope he really acted and not the signature kevin smith read lines without caring acting
I hate that shit

[GoldenOne]

He stinks and I don't like him!

About 3 seconds there.
