Bit of an overstatement.
share[deleted]
Dan Aykroyd is the most talented comedian of all time.
I am wrong. It's not a bit of an overstatement, it's completely overstated.
Maybe you're wrong, maybe you're right. Does it really matter?
How do you feel about Alan Arkin?
I dig him.
shareNow *that's* an overstatement!
shareI dug him?
shareOh me too, brother, me too.
shareI guess I always kind of felt like Dan Akroyd was trying to rip off Alan Arkin a little. Maybe that's petty of me, I don't know.
shareI never noticed. But I will be on the look out from here on out.
shareNo he had more range than that. I don't even know why that thought occurred to me in the first place. Akroyd did a good Nixon.
shareI never saw his Nixon.
shareThat and the Blues Brothers are the two big things I remember, though I saw him in lots of other stuff too.
shareYeah I love the blues Brothers
shareAlso his small cameo in temple of doom. Only cause I've seen that like a hundred times.
shareHuh, I haven't seen that in so long I've completely forgotten about it.
shareYeah it's a miniscule part. Without a real close-up on his face. But the voice in unmistakable.
shareOkay, I refreshed my memory looking over his IMDB page... yeah, there are some gems there, the Coneheads, Trading Places, a lot of people liked Ghostbusters, it was never my favorite... Dr. Detroit I don't remember that well, but I'm pretty sure it was very strange... I'm really kind of amazed all the more dramatic work he's done that I've seen and not remembered him for... he was in Chaplin, for example...

For those of us who know nothing about comedy, who should we ask?
shareLook, I just happen to think that Aykroyd isn't the most talented comedian of all time. I'd venture to guess most people you asked would say he isn't either. I like the dude. He is funny. Love is pop up in temple of doom.
