Words I did not ever expect to type: This AV Club interview with Bronson Pinchot is almost certainly the most entertaining thing you will read all day. I'm not even gonna pull anything out because, honestly, it's all good. [Via]

It's guys like Bronson Pinchot who paved the way for my horrible gaydar.
Balk-i!
Finally had to read this because it's getting quoted everywhere today. And yes, it is that good. I've only just started, but already there's gems like this:
It’s a good lesson, because anything that looks “charming,†if you scratch the surface, there’s going to be fudge.
(Rendered doubly hilarious when paired with Keisertroll's comment.)
Anyone who saw True Romance knows how great he is: "Hi, I'm Elliot and I'm with the Cub Scouts of America. we're selling uncut cocaine to get to the jamboree!"
I was just going to email you guys about this. My favorite line was: "I just thought it was very funny that years later, that became his bugaboo. Which is a nice 1930s term I thought you’d enjoy."
Yes, Bronson, I did enjoy that term! But the whole thing is great.
Now...if you are still reading my mind will you please post something about the crazy cat girl story posted on the Sun front page that I am too afraid to click on.
go ahead, you can do it. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2692763/Cat-girl-illness-baffles-doctors.html
Plus you get the tree man...
Ahhhhhh!!! Why can I watch an entire episode about the tree man on the Discovery Channel but one glimpse of that hair girl gives me a serious case of the the heebee jeebees?
Serge!

One of the all-time great made-up accents.
it was the best thing I've read all day. I don't think I've seen any of this guys movies/shows but just the fact that he references Denzel Washington as being 'vile' is more than enough to pique my interest.
I want to know who he was having an affair with...which extra?
I also want to know why his hand looks so large in the photo.
It's and interesting interview and he sounds like an interesting person. But I have always heard he was something of a tool.
I've heard that, too. But as he points out, that may have been circulating during the time he was on Perfect Strangers and ridiculously depressed. You do sort of forget that they are people and go through rough periods where they are dickheads, and then maybe aren't dickheads anymore shortly thereafter. In either case, he's always been a good actor.
Don't you mean "rediculosh-ly" depressed?
Wow, you weren't kidding. This is fantastic.
I remember back when the whatever Cousins show was on, the odd here and there interview would show up and he always was funny and cool. There have been times when I've wondered why someone as talented as him hasn't been around more. I hope that changes soon.
Agreed. This seems to have gotten enough buzz that I'm hoping he'll be picked up for something interesting.
Only peripherally related, but. Whenever I feel compressed, I watch this:

Wow. I should like to join his posse.
Since I emigrated I constantly quote Balki at work and none of these fucking foreigners have any idea what I'm talking about.
Does no one remember what lecherous creep he was on the Surreal Life?!?! I mean like, tough break about Denzel, but he put the moves hard on Janice Dickinson. Icky.
