Aren't we overanalyzing this a bit? There may be a few folks who fit what you're talking about, but to most of us, entertainers fill one role ... they entertain us. Nothing more or less.

Of course there are some entertainers who take themselves way too seriously and think they're doing something earth-shattering and profound. There's the famous story about Dustin Hoffman and Lawrence Olivier during the filming of "Marathon Man," and Hoffman was doing all this psychological method stuff trying to "become one with his character" or some gobbledegook like that, and Lord Olivier said something on the lines of, "Why don't you try acting, old boy? It's much easier."

Okay. We all know that the showbiz greats die in threes. So who do you think the other two will be? I'm guessing Joey Bishop and Pauly Shore.
