Kind of has a Lebowski vibe.

(7,560 posts)Didn't know Kurt and Goldie had an acting son but he is more than just a Hollywood legacy, he is really good in this. It isn't always really funny, although there are a few belly laughs now and then (like when the pizza guy saw them all in robes holding candles and ran away screaming), but it has some easy-going humor and it's clear the writers love the characters. It also surprises on a regular basis.
Sonya Cassidy plays his sister and I think both she and Wyatt are great at showing some deep pain beneath the humor, something not easy to do. Oh, and the meandering storyline is fun to follow too. Maybe it's going somewhere, maybe not but it's not as important as just enjoying the ride.

(7,560 posts)Yep, he looks like a cross between them, which isn't surprising of course. And he's named after Wyatt Earp, for an obvious reason.
