You hate Nancy?
by feistyfrog β€’ 2024-03-31
8/10

"If you hate Nancy it's because she's a great little actress. She was acting! She didn't write the script, she didn't choose to be a bully, she didn't choose to be nasty and mean. She did what she was good at, she was an actress and she was so good at it that she made you hate her. If you're talking badly about Nancy then you're a bully too πŸ˜€ This is a TV show for gosh sakes It's not real! What does really bother me is that I cannot find very much information on the young man who played Elmer. I know his name, that he was born in 1970 and died in 2008. ..."

J. Brennan Smith was put into a fat suit while playing Elmer.
