A Fish Called Wanda kind of sealed my belief in Kevin Kline as a superb versatile actor. Just look at his portrayal of Donald Woods in "Cry Freedom" the previous year, another stellar performance although it's hard to believe its the same actor. Talk about versatility!

Hollywood went busy kissing mediocre actors asses such as Penn,Hanks,Freeman,Foxx or Spacey and GREAT, VERSATILE & CHARISMATIC actors such as Kev Kline,Mickey Rourke,Rutger Hauer or Eric Roberts were keep unnoticed, typical!! Kev Kline got one of the most DESERVED Oscars for a supreme performance that the Academy ever gave to an actor.

By the way, while the four leading actors are superb, it's a shame Maria Aitken's Wendy is often overlooked. She's incredibly funny as John Cleeses wife.
Her sense of timing was impeccable. I loved the way she repeats back Kline (Otto)'s "Mr Man..frenjensenjen" exactly accurately - "My father was in the secret service Mr. Manfrenjensenjen and I know perfectly well that you don't keep the general public informed when you are debriefing KGB defectors in a safe house!" -

I'd probably have voted for River Phoenix (although talk about category fraud) And Dean Stockwell/Martin Landau were also terrific in their roles, but Kline is hilarious, and a fine Oscar winner.
Kevin is also the only supporting actor contender from that year's slate who is still with us…
