Martin Short will be joining David Krumholtz in the new Fox comedy series ‘Tax Man.’ Short will be playing an obnoxious, overbearing boss in the vein of Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy on ‘30 Rock.’ That description might be a bit of an exaggeration.
While Martin Short did give an impressive dramatic turn on ‘Damages,’ he’s no Alec Baldwin. He plays the little neurotic guy much better than he could play a confident businessman with ethical issues like Jack Donaghy. He’d be better off playing characters like Leo Bloom in ‘The Producers’.
The combination of David Krumholtz and Martin Short is an interesting one. It would be worth tuning in just for that. Hey, both have even appeared in ‘The Santa Clause’ movie franchise.
Can Short pull this role off? It’s television and anything is possible. Short could create a character that is a combination of Jack Donaghy and Leo Bloom, maybe with a little Ed Grimley thrown in for good measure.
