he was a sort of willy lohman is how i can best approximate it, though he was a lot more insane.

that's what i was talking about, getting that person and dumbing him down into a two dimension character, that sucks.
plus, add that he was an intensely charismatic fellow, a natural comedian and a hell of an actor and that calls for a fucking generation defining author to script this and an actor that can be intensely serious, unabashedly humorous and bearing a private disturbance just below the surface (to us people).
besides, most bio pics suck because they want to cram in decades of a person's life into a mere couple of hours and really hate how they mostly "fast forward" to "important" moments.
