    Idk. As soon as the both of them are together it becomes a diffrent atmosphere imo. Same as having Will Ferral and John C Reilly together.

      Yeah, he could nail Mudd as long as he doesn’t share a scene with Pegg.

    Him as Harry Mudd would be fantastic, I could also see him as a good Klingon sometime.

      Yeah, this is the one. Rainn Wilson was great in that role and Nick Frost would give a very different spin. I think he is softer and would be more charmingly narcissistic. Rainn’s Mudd was more obvious in his commitment to the grift.

    Nick Frost would be a great tribble/human hybrid.

      Dude has a lot of range…

      His new horror movie was really good, and he was legitimately scary.

      Into the Badlands was still in his main lane but he did an amazing job in that as well. He’s funny, but he doesn’t have to be comic relief.

        Are tribbles a joke to you?

          My comment could also be read as rationale supporting a version of that character based on serious horror…

          But yes, they’re a joke to me. And yes I’d love to see him as a tribble monster

              Of all the ways monsters can kill you out there, death by Tribble seems the best.

    Much as I love these two, I don’t know if he’d make a great Scotty.

      ?

      Pegg has already played Scotty, what, three times?

      He’s pitched Frost as Harry Mudd.
