I truly believe that the head honchos at King Of Queens made a huge mistake roughly 19 years ago. And the more I learn about Kevin James and the way he spits on everyone, the more convinced I am that the role of Doug Heffernan should have gone to MadTV veteran Will Sasso.
Age In 1998 when King Of Queens first aired, Will Sasso would have been an energetic 23. Kevin James was already 33 years old. Even those figures alone would indicate that Will would have more stamina and be better able to keep up with the multiple series' and movies in his future. Don't think it matters? Kevin James, on another series now entitled Kevin Can Wait, seems to only have the energy to push out a sad King Of Queens reboot.
Memorable Roles Quick - name a role that Kevin James had before King Of Queens aside from his very occasional appearance on Everybody Loves Raymond! That's right - nothing. If it weren't for Ray Romano, you may not even know who Kevin James is today. Or care. Will on the other hand was part of the sketch comedy show MadTV where he had the opportunity to play some very memorable characters - an alcoholic Kenny Rogers, an accident-prone handyman named Paul Hinterman, and of course Steven Seagal. And that's just to name a few.
Fan Treatment This is a picture that Will Sasso posted on Twitter showing him with some fans of his. You'll notice who is taking the picture - it's Will. It would be great if I could post a similar picture of Kevin James with his fans, but he wants nothing to do with them. He doesn't want them to look at him, talk directly to him, and especially not ask him for a picture or an autograph. I don't know when Kevin James decided he was such a delicate genius and so far above speaking to the people who helped him to get to where he is today. Especially since if it were up to some of us, he wouldn't be there at all.
