    I am so so so glad that Danny mentioned the terrific makeuo effects in Always Sunny and it makes me happy it's one of his favourite aspects of the show. It really is a subtle but integral aspect of the show - no matter the circumstance they will go all out on makeup in some regard, a steady and ridiculous degradation of the characters throughout the episodes. It's absolutely incredible and helps sell the "consequences" of their actions.

    Danny always speaks with such joy at the chance to play such a grotesque character in The Penguin, so much so that he often remarks about the fun he had doing it and he's been involved in the franchise in some way ever since (writing his own Penguin comic, opening a WB exhibit, etc). I think he relishes playing Frank because he's able to play another grotesque, eating trash and being debauched. He loves it.

    Interesting fact about Danny DeVito’s casting as Phil in Hercules. He was always the directors’ first choice to voice Phil, but he didn’t want to audition, so several other actors, including Ernest Borignine, Ed Asner, and Burgess Meredith, auditioned for it, but the directors still wanted Danny DeVito. They sat down with him at a pasta lunch during the filming of Matilda and got him to sign on for the role.

      @Jeremy Backman philosophy can be a real trap when you're studying it. My philosophy class in college almost had me living like a hermit in my small room

    Such a great dude! I watched Taxi as a kid and loved him as Penguin in Batman Returns. I was so glad he joined Sunny. The show would not be the same without Frank. Also Matilda is a classic. I need to watch Twins and some of these others. I haven't seen them

      The show wouldn’t have ran so long without him.. the other guys and dee are funny.. definitely.. but 20 seasons without devito would have never ever happened

    Taxi is without a doubt the greatest comedy series of all time. Devito and Lloyd help create two of the most iconic television characters in television history. The writing, cast, acting, everything was spot-on perfect. My opinion only, of course.
