Mitch Laurance

I watched the show 'The Riches' last night on FX. Torwards the beginning of the show, I guy gets in a car accident, and The Riches assume his identity. Well, the actor playing the guy in the car wreck look like Mitch Lawrence.

I guess it was his brother Matt.

Actually, the credits for the show on TV.com say that it is Mitch...

to me he is a good person on billiards but i think that he and ewa and mark wilson i think three people could do a better job calling the action or go with mitch ewa dawn hopkins and allen hopkins and mark wilson

thanks

dawn hopkins is quite possibly the worst, most error prone pro commentator i've ever heard on any sport. she has no equal.

dawn/allen vs. ewa/mitch? It would be a no contest but still entertaining to watch.

If we are going to talk about combos....Grady & Buddy are hard to beat!!! The old war stories & bickering are priceless. I'll never forget Buddy once telling a pretty lady to "go home & kiss her mommy and daddy and tell 'em they did a fine job"!!!!!

Mitch is a great guy and does a competent job on the pool shows he works on. He is terrific at warming up the crowds before air time and doing pre match interviews. I have to say I'm still a little uncomfortable with his actually pool commentary, because his knowledge of the game is lacking.

Jay, you'd be 10 times better than Lawrence. But yet he's perfect for ladies' tournaments: he's bland, politically "cleansed", and doesn't know much about pool.

Maybe it is just economics. I would imagine that the job does not pay much and involves travel. It would also be disrupting to a normal routine or employment. I am guessing that traveling with his wife is added incentive.

It would be nice to have more knowledgeable commentary but can they afford it.
