Jim is a great comic actor. He has the needed charisma and confidence
to have a screen presence; more importantly, he has excellent timing and knows
how to deliver his punch lines straight faced or over the top. A successful
partnership was forged between him and director Tom which through a span of
twelve years has resulted in numerous critically acclaimed and profitable
flicks.
Lately, something has changed in Jim. He is still appreciative of his
fortune, his fame, and the recognition of his comic talent; however, he no
longer wants to be categorized as a comedy actor, a clown as they used to be
called in the 30s. He wants to be taken seriously.
