For years, I was either referred to as a 'rubber-faced funny man' or 'the 'Men Behaving Badly' star.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I am a star - I'm simply a funny-shaped star.
When I came out to Hollywood in 1985, I thought that I would be sitcom star. I'm a tall, skinny, goofy guy. I thought that I would make a great funny neighbor, or wacky office mate, in a sitcom.
People used to think of me as a comedy actor.
I'm a comedic actor, not to mix words, but it's something I think about. A comedic actor. I like to think that Christopher Guest, Phil Hartman, Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness are comedic actors. And Dan Aykroyd, too. Those are my heroes.
I always saw myself as a comedic actor and wacky best friend.
I would say I'm a goof ball, but not a comedian.
When I grew up, one of comedy idols was Rowan Atkinson, who of course is Mr. Bean and uses physical comedy. Same with Jim Carrey. Both of those guys. And Peter Sellers. Most of my comedy idols are physical comics.
The truth is, I've never thought of myself as the Michael Jordan of comedy. And that's a good thing. You know why? Because I'm not. Wasn't that Richard Pryor? Yes, it was. I know what I am: I'm funny!
I was an actor before becoming a comedian.
When you're a guest star on TV shows - particularly in the 1960s - you're always the villain.
