Ted Danson

Actor Ted Danson. I nearly decided to scrap this feature actor article and write a much larger article titled Three Dansons, which would document the three incredibly different television characters Sam Malone (Cheers), Dr. John Becker (Becker), and George Christopher (Bored to Death). Maybe I'll still write that article some day (either that or Three Jokers: Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill and Heath Ledger), but for now I find it important to note that there are more than three Dansons. There's Ted Danson as himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm. There's Ted Danson the movie actor (3 Men and a Baby). There's Ted Danson the cardboard cutout that's commonly mistaken for a ghost (3 Men and a Baby). There's Tiny Danson. There's Ted Danson the guy who made a fool out of himself while dating Whoopie Goldberg. I want to celebrate all of the Dansons right now, especially George Christopher from Bored to Death.

Zach Galifianakis

Actor/comedian Zach Galifianakis. You may recognize him as Alan Garner from The Hangover, Ray Hueston from Bored to Death, or Bobby from It's Kind of a Funny Story. I am a one-comedian-at-a-time kind of guy, meaning that if I like a comedian she or he is the only comedian in the world. In my lifetime I have only had three comedians. First there was Eddie Izzard. Izzard is still alive, but he was completely eclipsed for me by Mitch Hedberg. When Hedberg died, I thought I'd never love (a comedian) again. Then came Zach. To paraphrase the great prophet Phil Collins: "You will be in my heart, Zach. You will be in my heart."
