I shouldn't be the guy to review Fred, especially since I am not a big fan. I feel he is a great supporting actor. I suppose he could hold his own on a children's film or something. I just don't believe that the man is a 4 or definitely not a 5 star actor. Come on now, he is a veteran actor who has had his chance in the spotlight. I will remember his humorous roles. I just can't see him being very diverse not ever playing some evil, hateful, dominant bad guy, for instance. He always plays a tagalong character. The biography on this page and eleven other ratings likely prove me wrong.
