One of the most naturally funny comedians who ever lived and acted in movies.
(Here, as Chance the Gardener aka Chauncey Gardiner in Hal Ashby’s classic 1979 film of Jerzy Kosinski’s political/social satire Being There, a wonderful movie years ahead of its time. The relevance of this film some 4 decades later is reflected in the rise and popularity of another ‘Chance’–Donald Trump, reflected in a 2017 comment by Mark Harris: “We invest people with unspeakable power by reinventing them as reflections of our hopes and our vanities, and it is thus terrifyingly possible for us to endow a complete imbecile who watches tv all day with qualities he has never possessed.” )
