He had to play an uneducated, self centered buffoon whose knowledge was short on content and long on delivery. Travolta took that acting job to heart, and so well that he continues to this day.

My wife knew David Hyde Pierce in High School. When she saw him on that short-lived sit-com before his Frasier role she said, "He's not acting. That's what he's like."

I suspect John's friends said the same about ol' Vinnie.

Shalom.

Ergo: a one-dimensional actor.

I abhor Dustin Hoffman's politics, but he's the best actor. He's played every part well. Tootsie was the best, an insult of Hollywood that lasted over an hour.

Sort of like Junior Samples on Hee Haw.
