All the true performers leave the biz or are way underrated and the generic ones with their fake acting stay abroad

John Merrick should make a buddy cop movie, perhaps playin for laughs, the awkward limp, the drooling, the painstakingly long time it takes to read someone their rights, the adapted car for his humungously large head! Any ideas who could play the straight cop? Or movie title? "Trunk'ed" "Face urgh" "I am not an animal, im a cop!" "You are all so very kind but you are under ssssslllurpp, arrest!"

You are sick.

Maybe Tom Hanks? Turner and Hooch 2.
