Page Kennedy on My Name Is Earl!
Even though U-Turn is dead to Weeds, you can still catch him on tv. Take tonight for example. I wish I had known Page Kennedy was going to take a turn on “My Name Is Earl” before I was watching the show, or I’d have told everyone to tune in. None the less, U-Turn was on the show!
In a role that wasn’t a complete departure from his tremendous job as U-Turn, Kennedy plays the leader of the black gang in Earl’s prison, who is also secretly gay and in love with the leader of the Latin gang! The two were bitter rivals until being locked in solitary together (I know, I know, but it’s what happened) for a full month. The pair fall in love, and all Romeo and Juliet agree to be secret lovers.
The only way they can be together is to keep their gangs fighting, and there’s a great shot of the two rolling around on the ground while mass destruction breaks out around them. A lover’s quarrel has the two breaking up, and Kennedy’s Hector tries to kill himself rather than live without him. Jamal (Kennedy’s character) saves him, and Earl’s so moved by the display he helps them find time once a month to be together.
Hilarious turn on the show, and I hope we get to see more of this secret couple (and especially Page) as the season continues! Until then, I’m excited to see what other bloggers will have to say about the episode!
