    I was hoping he'd talk about The Birdcage more - he was absolutely hilarious in that movie.

      Agreed! More backstory, because they switch midway through him explaining: In the french version, Agador was only in the one scene at the beginning, but then they had a black butler. They had the part cast and everything, and then they realized that was pretty racist - even if it was following the source material. So, they made the amazing decision to take away that character, and make Agador the dresser and the maid, and the rest was history! I have the original DVD and it came with a booklet that talked about that and other interesting things.
