I haven't seen the show, but it does sound like a waste if that's all he got. Reminds me of Nostradamus, where he's hardly in it. So much so that I've never actually seen him in it, because I've popped out of the room.
I'd like to see a film where he and Christopher Walken face-off on the big screen. Apparently they were in a recent film together Life's a Beach (2010) - IMDb (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285252/) but again I haven't seen that either. And also, as it's described as a comedy, it won't be the mind bender of a film as I was looking for.
