Henry Rollins Wants to Do Comedy on 'The Paul Reiser Show' (VIDEO)

Since Henry Rollins kicked off his acting career, he's mostly played tough, intimidating guys. Because, well let's face it, Henry Rollins looks pretty tough and intimidating. That's why it was fun seeing him on 'The Paul Reiser Show' (Thu., 8:30PM ET on NBC) exploring a different direction.

Playing a version of himself, Rollins was talking to Reiser about a comedy part he's going for. The simple glee and excitement in Rollins as he talks about the role and even reads some of the simply awful lines is infectious and funny itself.

After reading a line about a particularly lame joke about mistaking a fat woman for a beached whale, Rollins started talking about a part with more physical humor. "It's not so cerebral as that last one," he explained. "Let's see, it's right after the dance montage."

We don't know what script Rollins is reading, but it sounds like comedy gold to us. If it's not a movie that's in production, it needs to be. We want to see Rollins as a "lovable old life guard" in a movie with dance montages!
