How would you profile Hank Kingsley?


I can't put my finger on it but what is the character of Hank? Is he a colossal douche bag? An ass h o le? It seems like there's some pattern and method to him and that's what makes him so damn funny.

He's a used car salesman. Or a real estate agent. A more polished version, sure, but in that category. Amoral: can promote anything and believe in it for as long as the paycheck lasts. A booster. Not as obvious as a Herb Tarlek, but certainly more cynical. A true glad-hander.

An ESFJ with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a very uncommon combination

By the way, now that I have seen the Garry Shandling documentary, I know who he must have based the character on. It's his mother, an ESFJ with NPD.
