Funny, and all too true.
Thing about Fred is he LOOKS presidential. He even sounds presidential...
for a little while. Must come from playing presidents, admirals and other
"go to" public officials, because once he gets off script, he comes apart
like a cheap toy.
I actually enjoy him in film and television. He's really not a bad actor at
all... albeit somewhat limited in range.
