6. OK well here are a few

At least two of his roles are amongst my all-time favorites:

1) Artie, in The Gary Shandling Show
2) the attorney in Defending Your Life

I know there are others, but those two roles he played fantastically.

Now as to real life, I don't know anything at all.

12. He was also really good in Cross Creek and Wonder Boys

Don't care that he was a Republican supporter.

Such a great actor, destroyed by alcohol.

8. I loved that role in Dodgeball! The guy usually cracks me up.

He must have a drug problem more expensive than just alcohol.
