...security detail at a West Orange, N.J., mall, doesn't even seem to be internalizing the expected rage. A single dad whose hypoglycemia has disqualified him from the police force, he endures the insults of a pen salesman (Stephen Rannazzisi) and the polite indifference of Amy (Jayma Mays), the cute gal at the hair-extensions booth, without troubling to seethe.
