I love how this man is the polar opposite of every character he plays, lol, he's made a career out of playing deluded, crass narcissists and he's a quiet, humble, sweet guy.

To be fair, most artists such as himself who are fairly quiet and to themselves always play the eccentric characters because they are curious and almost always love BEING their polar opposite selves. Sam Reid, Johnny Depp, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy, etc etc.

Christopher Guest, you know, Spinal Tap, directed those great comedies, Waiting for Guffman, he's reportedly not very funny in person, doesn't like to make a scene or anything, apparently kind of an asshole too. bummer. we will keep Matt. I'm really glad he's got a big hit with What We Do in the Shadows. It's not my favorite, the writing is kind of... weak, like, all of the main actors are terrific, they can just only do so much with what they're given. but Matt really shines.

I cannot hear him speak now without hearing in my head " my darling lady-wife " in that incredibly nuanced way he does it. It kind of warbles, reverberates then rolls off his tongue. What a gift to be able to transport the audience with just your voice, speaking. He's amazing.
