But he's become a victim of his success, like DeNiro, Walken, Pacino, Jim Carey, etc. They just become caricatures of themselves and do the same stupid shit in everything they're in for huge, huge checks. If he had any balls, he would go back to stand up and just do small shows. He doesn't need any more money. Go have fun.

Agree on most of this (victims of success), except for Walken. I think his caricature is the result of other people - not him. I think his caricatureness began when impressions by Jay Mohr and Kevin Spacey became ubiquitous.
