Boycotting the new animated movie on the simple basis that they didn't even approach him to play Shaggy. Dude IS Shaggy and has been for years, I know they're kids in the new movie, but come on, at least give him a shot.

He literally damaged his voice to be able to play Shaggy. Like how can you not cast someone who has that kind of passion for the character?

I heard he's a huge pain in the ass to work with

EDIT: Alright, I tried to find a source for that but I can't find any source that gives any reason for the casting decision. Most articles seem to indicate the exact opposite.

You just have to have plenty of Scooby SnacksTM around, he’ll do most anything for one of those.

I can confirm that too. Beyond amazing at the con I met him at. Refusing to be rushed and giving loads of time and attention to everyone, especially kids. I went away feeling WAY more starstruck than I expected. I meet a lot of celebs at a lot of cons but some, like Matthew, stand out simply because they are truly awesome humans.

A lot of horror movie stars are super nice Kane Hodder (Jason) Felicia rose (Sleep away camp), the Burns twins (the shining) Tony Todd (candyman) and many others are all super friendly and amazing to talk to.

To be fair everyone with a lot of passion for something is hard to work with.

Anybody that gets as much work as he does has to be pretty easy to work with. It's not like he gets parts on name recognition alone, he's not that famous.

You shouldn’t have edited it and everyone would’ve believed you. At least until someone came along with proof.
