    7-Up yours!
    off center type actor with comedic appeal hide show

    I first noticed Orlando in the 7-Up commercials that had me rolling with laughter. His earlier work on the big screen wasn't impressive to me. I rated him a 4 out of 10 up to when he appeared on Ghost Wisperer. I decided he needed a boost on this one. If Jones would have shed a tear instead of getting misty-eyed, I would rate him even higher, but it didn't happen. Maybe he will become more believeable in his roles as time goes on, but for now I am just a mild fan. He isn't the worst out there to see.
