David reminds me of Sheldon Cooper...


from the Big Bang Theory.

Shame he's far less amusing.

Just saw the movie for the first time and couldn't stop thinking the same thing! Perhaps the character of Sheldon was somehow based on Kier Dullea's performance as David?

I understand the comparison but there's big differences between neurotics and psychotics.
Sheldon has his quirks but they really don't stop him from most normal functions. David at this time --1960?, unmedicated-- really can't handle things on his own.
