Is that the guy who squealed like a pig? He also delivered a hilarious performance in "Cookie's Fortune," but I don't know if it was enough to overshadow his earlier part. Either way, if you use it, your poems will give his image the burnish of authentic, lyrical firestorm, and may restart his career. This could be what catapults him out of the shadow of "Deliverance."

And Otis in the original Superman movies.
I'm going more for the Otis vibe.
Who could possibly deny this man looks like a poet?
