Ha. I like what you did here. As much as I think you deserve more up votes, it's such a fine line between stupid and clever. ;-)

And "it's a fine line between stupid and clever" is one of his most well known lines from when he was in This is Spanaltap.

Yeah he's the last one of the main cast left.

Holy shit, never made the connection that Lenny is Chuck McGill. He looks and acts so different that I didn’t recognize him.

I've loved him in everything I've ever seen him in, and I have no difficulty seeing him as the character he's playing. But my initial reaction to seeing him in anything is always "Lenny!"

I watched a lot of Laverne & Shirley as a child.

He's just one of my favorite actors. He also happens to be the actor who uttered my favorite line of dialog in all of cinema:

>I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.

Yes, he's great in everything. I loved Shadwell in Good Omens too. It's kind of sad that he rarely picks up a series he's on for very long, usually just an episode or two on various shows. I'm glad he got Better Call Saul for a longer run so he could develop a character, and he nailed it.

I think he's about to start filming Spinal Tap 2 with Rob Reiner directing again.

McKean's now the last man standing from the cast of 'Laverne and Shirley' and it's the same with John Astin from 'The Addams Family' after Lisa Loring died.
