Channing Tatum Continuing Buzzcut Streak in 'G.I. Joe'

January 28, 2008 Comments

From AICN comes news that Channing Tatum is the latest to join the what-does-it-matter cast of G.I. Joe. He will reportedly be taking on the role of second-in-command, Duke, or, for those of you unfamiliar with the canon, the guy who you thought was named G.I. Joe. I speculate the young actor will take any role that allows him to wear a wifebeater and a buzzcut, a theory supported by his next role, the lead in Guy I Hated in High School.
