A comedic genius that was never realized of his greatness while he livedj. ‘1943’ was one of his overlooked masterpieces. He was almost a ‘Cameo’ appearance in the film. All though his genius as a Wild Man’ is like a continuation of his persona in “Animal House”. Like a “Veteran of WWII” gets out of the Army young and goes to College on the GI Bill ,
