Thanks, that means a lot from the savvy commentariat. I hope other people find these things as interesting and... deep... as I do.

I first remember seeing him in neverending story.. I was 9, and would be a long time before I recognized his face again and say, "hey I know who that is!". This was a great look into his career!

Very well said, Bill, people like Deep Roy, and the late Michael Dunn, have brought so much to so many projects; often being the only good thing in a really bad film or show.

Hey, thanks -- I appreciate that sentiment. I was really hoping to flatter Deep himself, should he watch it someday.
