He Gets Typecast
Although Spade has been quite successful, he gets pigeon-holed in his career. He is often considered for the same type of parts. Rules of Engagement was his third sitcom, and on the show, he played a womanizing, sleazy, incompetent character.
Unsurprisingly, he usually plays this type of character, but it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering the list of women he has dated is longer than his resume. Despite this, the series got good ratings and was canceled after seven seasons.
