I think he is in town directing some low budget movie.

He's a frequent visitor here, you can see him every few months if you know where to look.

He's quite charming in person, actually, not at all like his screen image.

He did "Shakes the clown", so he's okay in my book.

Shakes the Clown was underrated and funny. Glad to hear he's doing more film.

He's in town to direct World's Greatest Dad with Robin Williams. There's a winning combo! See Cinematical.

Tom Kenny fucking rocks! Also in Shakes the Clown...

"World's Greatest Dad" will definitely, positively be the worst movie ever made.

That scene with a disheveled Florence Henderson wearing second-hand clown makeup in the morning? Best movie opening scene EVER.

Shakes the Clown was every bit as funny as Cabin Boy.

I mean that as a compliment.

@5 i thought i saw him in the cast list for that ... cool!

Invite him to SLOG Happy.

By the way, Tuesday is the premiere for The Closer and we'll have fancy guests in town for that on the hill.

If it weren't for Shakes I would never have been the man I am today!A pill popping,drunken wreck of a clown!

Bobcat has been doing a lot in the last ten years and I wouldn't call him "washed up" just cause you haven't noticed.He put out one of my top ten favorite comedy albums a few years back.Was the director of the Jimmy Kimmel show for a few years.Last I heard he was off in Africa or some shit directing animal documentaries.On top of all that he was rumored to be engaged to the foreign exchange chick from American Pie.

Anyway, he kicks ass and if he's reading this.You and Robin are both invited to the next SSP event!

I heard the plot of "WGD" was pretty good. The title is ironic- teen suicide, Robin Williams freakout. Robin Williams plays a good scum bag.

PS- How come no Police Academy jokes on slog?
