I knew they took some liberties with the true story but Dunn got it right.<br /><br />I also love him in <i>Dave</i> because of the character arc as I also loved him in <i>Hot Shots!</i>. He is also great in <i>Veep</i> as he is just part of that special ingredient into why that show is so fucking great. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
