Can Dane Cook Be Taken Seriously as a Dramatic Actor?

I don’t know how in touch you are with Dane Cook’s film career, but this December, the comedian-turned-actor stars in a kidnapping drama called Answers to Nothing . As a philandering husband whose wife is determined to get pregnant in spite of his infidelities, the leading role — which appears to be completely (and purposefully) humorless in the trailer — could be a step in a new direction for the 39-year-old stand-up. But can Dane Cook even be taken seriously as a dramatic actor at this point in his career?

Thanks to Lion King 3D, Disney Will Re-release Beauty & the Beast, Little Mermaid, and More in 3-D

“Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?” Insert “piles of The Lion King 3D cash” for “stuff” and you’ll see why Disney’s planning to roll out even more retro hits in similar fashion in the next few years. Why leave those catalogue classics in the vault when they can bring in as much as $80 million more a pop?

‘Footloose’ Stars ‘Cut Loose’ At Hollywood Premiere

Julianne Hough says she has ‘make-out sessions’ with her dogs. By Kara Warner Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough at the premiere of “Footloose” Photo: Getty Images At Monday night’s Hollywood premiere of the buzz-worthy “Footloose” remake, MTV News had to ask the stars about the film’s catchy and intriguing tagline: “Cut Loose.” Naturally, we also talked about how the new “Footloose” compares to the old, along with how many nods there are to the 1984 Kevin Bacon career-launching classic, which will be rolled out in the next few days leading up to the film’s release. But, first and foremost, we wanted to know what the actors do to cut loose during their downtime. Check out photos of the stars at the red carpet premiere “I cut loose by playing with my dogs,” said Julianne Hough, who plays rebellious preacher’s daughter Ariel Moore. “They give me make-out sessions every morning in bed, and I love that; that’s the best.” Kenny Wormald, who plays newcomer Ren McCormack, joked, “Aside from when I dance and break things in a warehouse?” — alluding to the film’s iconic “angry dance” sequences. “I like to play golf. It kind of zens me out a little bit,” he revealed. “There’s a lot of cement in L.A., so I get off to a golf course, a beautiful green area, I love it.” Miles Teller, whose learning-to-dance montage set to “Let’s Hear it for the Boy” is one of the film’s best, admitted: “I’m not afraid to say it: I dance by myself in my room sometimes, and I have a disco ball that’s in my bedroom that I plug in.” Of her passion for horseback riding, Andie MacDowell (who plays Ariel’s mother Vi) said, “I ride bareback. I’ve been riding like that since I was 11, 10, so I have some experience.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Footloose.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .
