Garry Shandling's performance - WOW

Props to Garry Shandling for one helluva performance in this movie. WOW!! He made all the other cast look fake because his performance was so geniune, raw and unique. I know he brought dozens of acting coaches to the set with him the entire four days he was filmed and the director and others thought they were extras that Garry let hang around with him off set, but found out that they were not extras. They were all his acting coaches. A bit much, I agree, but well worth the money. Garry's takes were superb and he IS this film. This film wouldn't be the same without Garry in it. Don't you agree?

*Secret* Assistant to the Regional Manager?

I accept.

Looks like Gary's mother signed up for an imdb account.

Nah, the OP stole those lines from the finale of The Larry Sanders Show, where Penn was a guest on the last talk show within the show, and "sanders" and Penn made fun of Shandling. Very inside stuff.
