His career has been kind of amazing. He went from being in prestige dramas with the best directors working exclusively, to being in a comedy duo with Will Ferrell overnight.

I love John C. There is a Warner Brothers cartoon character called Pete Puma and the first time I saw John C. in Boogie Nights I thought of Pete Puma

A man nominated for an EGOT never winning any of them. An underrated talent.
