i really think he understand who and what he was as an actor and a person which is pretty rare in that world and it allowed him to do some of the things he did on film.

if you have never seen "the end" i high recommend watching it.

Norm McDonald as BR might be my favorite SNL character ever. Literally can’t keep from laughing out loud watching those.

Also, since this is a sports forum, he was a part owner of the Tampa Bay Bandits of the USFL.

I love how 1980's-graphics-editor-pixellated that is.
