i had not until this year seen an interview with him. and you're right, he's not even like my artist friend craig, who resembles him most in interests and talents, from among people i know in real life, although they're both interesting and likeable.

i think you'd dig the series, it's got a lot of goofiness that's not in the movie and it's more about characters than the violence of what occurred (and doesn't have any explicit sex scenes). and there's a terrific appearance by david duchovny in a handful of season 2 episodes (and season 1 is only 8 episodes long). & of course a lot more great badalamenti.
