As Greg Buehl

By the end of the movie, she is able to realize how wrong he is for her and decides to leave him. Notable Movies & TV Shows: Greg is one of Michael Shannon’s most underrated roles w...
As Cheddar Bob

Despite his actions, Cheddar is a loyal friend to Jimmy. Notable Movies & TV Shows: After his time as an 8 Mile cast member, actor Evan Jones wen...
As Sol George
Character: Sol George is another one of Jimmy’s friends who embarks on different activities with him, be it paintballing cars on the street or witnessing rap battles.George doesn’t have many enemies and has a largely friendly persona.
