A great villain?
I'm a huge fan of Paul Simon's music and think he is such a talented person.
I know his buddy (sometimes) Art Garfunkel did some acting...but Simon could act also. We see it in some of his music videos ("You Can Call Me Al") and his numerous appearances on "Saturday Night Live."
I think Simon would have made a great villain in a movie. From what I've read and heard about him, he has a very cold and nasty streak in him. He was pretty heartless to Art Garfunkel at times (and others). I think he could have channeled that in a movie or TV episode and done great things with it.
Just a thought. He can definitely be very funny and charming at times also.
