People in love with movies love actor Sam Rockwell. Our personal favorite is his trippy role in Duncan Jones’ 2009 film Moon, in which Rockwell plays an astronaut doing a solitary stint on a lunar facility where his character slowly unravels. It’s a moody, quiet performance, quite unlike his boisterous appearance on last night’s SNL. Was it just us, or did Rockwell seem somewhat blah about joining the cast? Still, the star delivered some snappy, sharp lines that gave several of his characters a nasty and truly weird edge (whoa, Mr. Science, calm down). See how it all went down last night, below.
