Matthew Lillard got brutally honest about his love-hate relationship with the “Scooby-Doo” movies while participating in Variety‘s “Know Their Lines” video series. The actor expected to become a blockbuster movie star after landing the role of Shaggy in 2002’s live-action “Scooby-Doo,” which earned $275 million worldwide. But the franchise was short-lived after 2004’s “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed” disappointed and cut Lillard’s blockbuster dreams short.
