Cara, I'm with you on this guy. For a long time, every time I saw him on TV, he just disgusted me, and I couldn't figure out why. He just looked really UGLY to me -- and then, just the other day, a light bulb went on! I now know why I find him so repulsive:
Do you remember the episode on "Friends" when he dated Rachel? He had a mean side to him in which he became enraged for no reason whatsoever, but no one saw it except Rachel. He played that role so convincingly that I still see that maniac every time I see his ugly face.
I guess that's what you'd call a good actor -- but I have a hard time separating the actor from the freak.
It's like Ed Herman. He was so great as Glenn Miller that every time I think of Glenn Miller I picture Ed Herman, and whenever I hear Herman on the cable history channel emceeing antique car programs, I keep thinking of Glenn Miller.
Ditto with Gary Bussey. To me, he'll always be Buddy Holly.
