I wasn't too conscious of him before AMERICAN SPLENDOR. For whatever
reason, I just didn't see films that he was in. The same is true of
Virginia Madsen -- she gave some great performances starting in the 80's,
but for whatever reason I just wasn't familiar with her work.

I am trying to catch up with both of them.

As far as Easter Egg #3 (I'm doing this from memory):
Go to the menu and find Scene 15. Click to the left of the text "Scene 15"
You should see a wine bottle appear. Click this, and you will be taken to a
great slide show!
