His poster boy looks are gone now – with the deep naso-labial folds he now has he looks a little like the old guy in Disney-Pixar’s Up, with enough cross-hatching under his eyes to make a chain-link fence of - and don’t get me started on what’s going on inside the man’s head these days - but by Gosh he nailed the accent.
