David Harbour
Here’s another actor who got the wrong end of the stick in Suicide Squad. David Harbour has been proving his mettle on the small screen for some time now, including breakout performances on The Newsroom and Stranger Things.
His reward for his hard work? A role as a government official who had virtually no screen time. It’s a bizarre part for someone of his abilities – and rather insulting, if you ask me. It makes you wonder if the filmmakers recognized the sheer amount of talent in their film. Mind you, judging by the all the reports and the final cut, not too many people knew what the hell was going on in that movie.
In our opinion, Harbour could’ve easily portrayed Griggs, the sleazy Belle Reve guard who gets in deep with the Joker and constantly provokes the prisoners. While it’s not a massive part, it’s still a lot better than what he ended up with.
