Paul Giamatti stole every scene he was in

I have'nt watched Private Parts in years but I recently watched it again and was amazed by Giamatti. He was on the Stern show I think earlier this year and mentioned that PP was his breakthrough into the business and it shows, he brings so much life to that character that I could actually watch an entire movie about PigVomit. I think he also stands out due to the fact that Howard and crew are'nt really trained actors, but literally every scene he appears in is a homerun.

hving never seen Private Parts until today, I saw Paul Giamatti but I never knew his name. And like the opposite of people here that when they first saw the movie thought Giamatti would og on to great things, I had the pposite as I was like, "Oh that's "the guy" who always does those bit parts, sort of like Richie Cunningham's brother, and the guy Booger, as well as Steve Buschemi

I agree. But I still think Stern played off of Giamatti's performance very well. The scenes that have both of them are my absolute favorite in the entire movie. Watching Kenny....Pig Vomit...slowly lose his mind, and lose it with Howard was awesome.

Just saw it again last night on either Starz or HBO, can't remember, but yeah Giamatti was great as Kenny.

I don't know why, but when Kenny explodes at Howard after he calls his wife telling her they need more sex, the way he calls Howard the antichrist is hilarious, lol.
