You know I was just watching the video again. And I know someone a
few days ago mentioned his performance being "Buster Keaton-esque."
But I have a different theory...

I would compare his mannerisms in this video much more to Stan Laurel
of "Laurel & Hardy." In fact there are a couple of times in the
video (especially one at the end right before he takes his Laurel-
like hat off) where I swear he's all but scratching the top of his
head saying "I'm sorry Ollie!" And really, if you think about it,
"I'm sorry Ollie" and "I'm sorry Ali" don't sound all that different
from one another.

In The Name Of Love, Patty
