Are there no fans of Monk on here? I've brought up Jason Gray Stanford playing Randy Disher on Monk. It was 8 years on a hit show in every or nearly every episode. When questions like this are brought up, I'm really surprised that's not the first example people give of someone from DB in a live action role
Was
Monk really a "hit show"? Yeah it was on for eight years but that was the USA network.
Was it a comedy, a drama, who can tell?
Yes it was a hit show, so much show that the network built its identity for years off of it - it was a network for fun quirky breezy dramas/comedies like Psych, In Plain Sight, Royal Pains, White Collar, Burn Notice, etc.
As for genre, it's both. It's hardly a novel idea to mix comedy and drama in almost equal doses.
Scott McNeil was the voice of the villain in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

I thought that voice sounded familiar. I knew of Monk but never really watched it so I wasn't aware that one of its actors was also a voice-actor for DB.

Jason Grey Stanford has done plenty of other work over the years. i've seen him on episodes of Bones, Justified, The Boys, and iZombie.
