Review of Mr. Monk and the Actor

This episode gets very meta, with Stanley Tucci playing David Ruskin, an A-grade actor signed on to play Mr. Monk in a movie. It gets quite chilling and emotional at the end, with Trudi's memory causing trauma to David in a touching scene. I don't think Stanley is related to Michael Tucci from Diagnosis Murder.

Peter Weller was hilarious as Captain Stottlemeyer! Just so good and laugh-out-loud.
