We discuss some of his most famous roles including St. Elsewhere, Arrested Development, Best in Show, and A Mighty Wind. And we get to the root of his environmentalism (he's cheap) as he tells us about owning one of the earliest electric cars and gives us tips for simple, cash-saving changes we can all make to help save our planet. Cheers to that!
