    :lol  Agreed I thought that part was gay. His character really had no point in the story. Should have just left him out of the movie.

    I agree with KA, having Lennox talk to himself the whole movie would have been weird.

    Lance. Agreed.

    Simmons was annoying, but I loved to hate him. Even after he tried to make peace with Sam.

    I didn't see anything gay about getting a cell phone.

    I guess what I had a problem with was how they made him and I just thought the lines were pointless.

    I liked Simmons, he was a prick, but he was funny though!

    I've seen the movie multiple times now, and I still have no idea what Tyrese's character was called.

    ok what exactly did Tyrese say that you find annoying? The guy had almost as few lines as Josh's character.

    And all his lines were executed convincingly to give his character a sense of professionalism especially during the Skorponok attack especially when calling in the Air Strike.

    I didn't mind his character at all. The movie could've used some more swearing though. It seemed like the censored a lot of his lines that involved curse words. Also, is it true that he paid Michael Bay, or whoever was in charge of casting, to be in this film?

    Maybe when he was yelling "BRING IT!!" he was reminding Bay of the large, large sack of money he brought to the casting agent in exchange for a small role in the film?

    Sergeant Epps - I think Lennox calls him by name once, but it's easily forgotten (I had to look it up).

    Before the movie I had no idea who he even was. I don't think Epps contributed much to the film and see no reason why his character should be in the sequel, he seemed pretty disposable.

    I looked him up after reading this thread to learn more about him, and wished I hadn't. I know this is about his character in the movie, but the guy himself seems to be quite the bigot. He wants to ban male fans (gay or straight) from his upcoming tour because he feel uncomfortable having men look at him shirtless (his tour is called the "shirts off" tour). I won't bother mentioning the bigoted, homophobic and/or closeted implications. Oh wait, I just did.

    Epps, Lennox, Sam (and Sam's Parents) and Bobby were my favorite Human characters.
