Many fans were surprised to see him play a cameo in the raunchy anti-establishment film Movie 43.

In May 2013, Tony Shalhoub had returned to television again, with the CBS sitcom We Are Men. The show received good ratings from critics and fans, so it appeared that Shalhoub was back on top again, but it wasn't meant to be. The show was cut from the CBS lineup in October and canceled permanently.
Tony Shalhoub's career has been the delight of both mainstream television fans, but also an unusually strong cult following. As demonstrated by a current ironic twist of media fame and fate.
