Duffield’s awful. Another insane Liberal hack.
Hilarious how Kaitie’s publicists and industry press always excise Last Man Standing from her resume! She logged more screen time on LMS in front of more eyeballs than have seen all of her movies combined. And btw did some rather excellent work there.
Congrats Allan! Can’t wait to see it.
Why won’t you mention her credit role for Last Man Standing? She has been on that show for 9 Seasons.
How does Duffield keep selling his garbage?
Because his ‘garbage’ actually rules.
Maybe he has a good agent?
Duffield keeps selling because Duffield frickin rules.
Don’t be too jealous, unsigned screenwriter.
