I think his acting ability because he was just channeling his uncle for Al and he's very multi cultural unlike Jay - so he's really nothing like his characters yet people treat Ed like he's off putting and close minded. It's really no different Brian Cranston whom also gets confused for his characters.

One thing I love about John Hughes is that he’s one of the few big name writers that seems to understand the “real American” better than most. Doesn’t really look down upon those that are outside of Chicago, NY or CA.
