More personality when in character?


Does anyone else get the impression that Chris is, in real life, a blank slate waiting to be made into something artistic?

Because everyone says he's so quiet and low-key in person, but he has so many characters with colorful personalities. I mean, could you imagine Nigel being QUIET?! HE NEEDS TO BE LOUD! :-)

He's like that in public, he's an extremely private, closed person. Hes the kinda guy who shows his real colours at home i can imagine.
How he bagged Jamie Lee Curtis I'll never know.

Well there are guys whose comedy minds I really admire give Guest serious props
Harry Shearer & Tom Leoplod but the guy's chops just don't register with me.
C'est la vie no big really.
