Ethan Suplee Movies

Doing the right thing isn't always easy. Just ask Earl Hickey (Jason Lee), a recovering ne'er-do-well with a lifetime's worth of dirty deeds to make up for. In order to turn his life around, Earl needs a G.E.D., a job, an apartment, and a whole lot of good karma. And, if he can keep his ex-wife (2007 Emmy-winner Jaime Pressly) out of prison, so much the better! Join Earl and his gang of lovable losers -- including Randy (Ethan Suplee), Darnell (Eddie Steeples), and Catalina (Nadine Velazquezas) -- as he continues his wildly offbeat transformation from hood to good in the uproarious and outrageous Season 2 (2006-7) of My Name Is Earl. The second season features appearances from such notable guest stars as Roseanne Barr, Burt Reynolds, John Leguizamo, Beau Bridges, Sean Astin, Amy Sedaris, and John Waters, among others. The collection includes all 23 half-hour episodes, audio commentaries, featurettes, deleted scenes, a blooper reel, and more.

Ned (Jeremy Renner of Dahmer) is a proud member of the Aryan Brotherhood who has been admitted to a mental institution for his involvement in a racially motivated murder. Dr. Magnuson (Cary Elwes) and Johnny (Ethan Suplee) have trouble keeping Ned in line. Boisterous and belligerent, he's prone to childish tantrums when things don't go his way. Still, the other inmates, like Joey (Eddie Kaye Thomas) seem to look up to him. Ned's life at the facility is upended with the arrival of Rachael (Gabrielle Union of Bring It On), a beautiful young black woman who's brought in shouting German, and seems to believe that she's possessed by the spirit of Adolf Hitler. At first, Ned mocks her, and attempts to provoke her, but soon, his feelings toward Rachael turn surprisingly tender. Eventually, Ned and Rachael open up to each other, revealing the past traumas that left them in such a screwed up state. Ned, still reluctant to give up the accoutrements of skinhead life, tells Rachael about his imprisoned father and his unhappy foster care experiences, and Rachael tells him about being sexually abused, and reveals that she has a young daughter. When Ned is released from the hospital, he convinces Rachael to leave with him, but the couple finds life together on the outside difficult. Neo Ned also stars Steve Railsback and Sally Kirkland. It was written by Tim Boughn and directed by Van Fischer (Blink of an Eye, aka Urban Jungle). It had its world premiere in the Narrative Feature Competition of the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

In this off-the-wall road comedy, John (Ethan Suplee) and Sam (Kevin Connolly) are a pair of close friends who are in need of a vacation, so they hit the road from their hometown of Washington, D.C., to New Orleans, hoping to check out the action at Mardi Gras. Along the way, however, they manage to run over someone with their car; their victim, Tyrone (Coolio), is an escaped convict who dies shortly after the accident. The wreck attracts the attention of the police, and the guys are soon dealing with unfriendly attention from the law, a cadre of drug dealers, and Tyrone's identical triplet brothers, Jerome and Cherone (also played by Coolio). Bad Trip was shot in 1999 under the title Tyrone, but wasn't released until 2005. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

It's Graduation Day, and although Cory (Ben Savage) does not want Topanga (Danielle Fishel) to go off to Yale, he hides his true feelings and tells her that it's okay. Meanwhile, Shawn (Rider Strong) feigns indifference to the whole graduation process, and Eric (Will Friedle) tries to persuade Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) to give up his retirement plans. In addition to offering return visits by former series regulars Blake Soper (Joey), Ethan Suplee (Frankie) and Lee Norris (Minkus), this fifth-season cliffhanger finale of Boys Meets World is highlighted by an unexpected proposal of marriage--all the more surprising when one considers the person who is proposing! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Upset that tough-guy Frankie (Ethan Suplee) is hanging around with a bad crowd, Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) suggests that Cory (Ben Savage) and Shawn (Rider Strong) try to keep Frankie on the straight-and-narrow. Instead, the opposite happens: Thanks to their association with Frankie, Cory and Shawn now find themselves much feared by all the younger kids in school! Of course, there's a moral and a "surprise" revelation lurking within this situation, so stay with the episode until the end. Meanwhile, Mr. Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn) is upset when his wealthy ex-girlfriend Melanie (Eliza Coyle), who'd spurned him because he'd given up a life of luxury to become a teacher, returns to town. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Cory (Ben Savage) manages to commit himself to two different events at the same time. Having promised to attend Topanga's sweet-sixteen party, Cory nonetheless agrees to attend a wrestling match in which Frankie's dad Vader (Leon Allen White) squares off against Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Hoping to get himself out of this jam, Cory devises a scheme to be in both places at once--just like Fred did in a 1962 episode of The Flintstones! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Shareen Mitchell makes her first series appearance as Virna, the "runaway" mother of Cory's friend Shawn (Rider Strong). When Virna reappears after a year's absence, Cory (Ben Savage) tries to reunite her with her son Shawn and husband Chet (Blake Clark)--who really want this reunion, but are reluctant to make the first move out of fear that Virna might run off again. Cory also finds time to pay homage to Brenda (Loretta Jean), the cafeteria lunch lady, who has unexpectedly passed away. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Tough guy Frankie (Ethan Suplee) prevails upon Cory (Ben Savage) and Shawn (Rider Strong) to help him win the heart of a girl named Gloria (Mathea Webb)...or else. Trouble is, Gloria is already the girlfriend of even tougher guy Harley--and he'll reduce Cory and Shawn to a heap of bloody rubble if he finds out what they're doing. Meanwhile, Cory's dad Alan (William Russ) gets in trouble for buying his wife Amy (Betsy Randle) a "utility" gift as an anniversary present. Yes, both of these storylines are linked together by episode's end--but you'll have to watch to find out how! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Angry because some girls won't date him because of his "lowlife" reputation as a trailer-park resident, Shawn (Rider Strong) decides to live up--or down--to that reputation by hanging out with school bully Harley and his flunkies. Consequently, Shawn not only begins cutting classes, but also drifting away from his best friend Cory (Ben Savage). After weighing the advice of several authority figures, Cory elects to "rescue" Shawn by standing up to Harley--which may be the equivalent of committing suicide! Elsewhere, Jason (Jason Marsden) tries to give Eric (Will Friedle) a crash-course in ice skating, which explains how Nancy Kerrigan came to be tonight's special guest star. In this episode and this episode only, Kenny Johnson and not Danny McNulty is seen as Harley. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

While delivering past-due book reports to the home of their teacher Mr. Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn), Cory (Ben Savage) and Shawn (Rider Strong) stumble across Turner's class schedule, enabling them to determine when he plans to give the next pop quiz. As a result, the boys are able to cram for the quiz, which they pass with extremely high grades. It isn't long before Cory and Shawn begin suffering the pangs of conscience, but when they confess to Mr. Turner they're in for quite a suprirse. Meanwhile, school tough guys Frankie (Ethan Suplee) and Joey (Blake Sennett), leaderless since top bully Harley was sent to reform school, seek out a replacement so they can retain their "flunkey" status. (Note: this episode was intended as the series finale, but at the last minute Boy Meets World was renewed for a third season). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Though he was a mere 11 years old during Season One of Boy Meets World), somehow Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) is just the right age to enter John Adams High School at the outset of Season Two. Thinking that he has at last rid himself of his least favorite teacher and biggest nemesis Mr. Feeny (William Daniels), Cory is appalled to learn that Feeny is now the high school principal--and if that wasn't bad enough, our hero must also deal with school bully Harley (Danny McNulty) and his dimwitted flunkies Frankie (Ethan Suplee) and Joey (Blake Sennett). Making Cory's transition to the ninth grade somewhat easier is his supercool new teacher Jonathan Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn), who wears a leather jacket, rides a cycle to school, and spouts poetry (notably "The Odyssey", which has special significance in this episode). Danielle Fishel is now a regular in the role of the mercurial Topanga Lawrence. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

With two girlfriends too many--namely Linda (Haylie Johnson) and Stacy (Molly Morgan)--Shawn (Rider Strong) suggests that he and Cory (Ben Savage) take turns dating them. Cory is merely to act as Shawn's "beard", while Shawn tries to decide which girl he really wants. Unfortunately, the girl Shawn prefers wants nothing to do with him--but Cory is crazy about her. This plot, coupled with a subplot involving an argument between Cory's parents over household spending, is somehow connected with Mr. Turner's current class study of the Cuban Missile Crisis! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
