It only takes about 40 seconds for Millen Baird to steal M3GAN<\/em>. His lanky frame (he’s over 6-foot-3) arrives one hour into the camp-parody horror, right after the titular robot doll designed by Allison Williams has just killed someone. Baird’s cop (he’s listed simply as \u201cpolice detective\u201d on IMDb) is a rumpled suit personified. He absently interrogates Williams’s character (he seems more committed to chewing his gum), his hair inexplicably damp, his tie loose, his brow furrowed in a pretense of somber concern.

His smile suddenly drops: \u201c\u2026 Sorry, I should n’t laugh.\u201d With Williams’s sleek look and the sleek surroundings (this particular scene was shot in New Zealand, where both Baird and director Gerard Johnstone are from), it’s like he’s walked off some other set, some bargain-bin procedural.<\/p>\n \u201cI do not know @millenbaird but he was so funny as a cop in his short scene in M3GAN<\/em> that I was thinking about it for the rest of the movie,\u201d comedian Joe Kwaczala tweeted<\/a>. (Baird responded that he hadn’t even seen it and two days later, when we spoke, he still hadn’t: \u201cI’m in LA, right near a movie theater at The Grove. As soon as we can get a babysitter , we’ll get along and go and see it, and I can see what you’re talking about.\u201d) In a separate tweet, writer Emma Stefansky<\/a> seemed to concur: <\/p>\n
