Nice to see him being honored by the 2021 TCM Classic Film Festival. Any fans of his work?

Innerspace and Clifford are two of my favorite films of his and people also know him from Three Amigos, Captain Ron, Father of the Bride, Jiminy Glick, SCTV, and Saturday Night Live.

I've enjoyed all of his stuff I've seen so far. He's great in Clifford and Innerspace and most of the movies he has done.

Other than that, there's really nothing else that really jumps out at me. To be honest, probably should have had a better career really, considering how funny he is.

Clifford is a film I did not exactly like but did not mind either. On the film's board a surprising amount of people have expressed that they were simply unable to wrap their heads around an adult - looking very much his age - was supposed to be playing a child. I never had that problem so that might have to do something with my mild opinion of the film.

I think its absurdity is part of its charm although I know it's not for everyone.
