Cousin Eddie is the classic, "The Last Detail" is the award buzz, and I like them both.
Two movies soon opening here in Norway with him: "The Ice Harvest" and "Brokeback Mountain", and I look forward to see him on the screen again. -

I liked him as Cousin Eddie in Vegas Vacation the best. The way he goes strolling around the casino with a yard margarita perpetually in his hand, or when he gets out the box of snakes for his kids and says, "let me go fetch the babysitter," damn that always cracks me up. This role isn't just a comedy character, it's damn good acting, as far as I'm concerned. The scene where he & Chevy Chase are digging up the yard looking for the cans of money he buried the whole deal with aquiring his property from the goverment etc. That is totally believable, even though it's funny. I really know people like that from Nevada.

i like his character in the "Vacation" movies.
our boy has done come home,
from the land hes been walkin on,
we had to get substitutes while he was gone,
but they didn't do nothing but wrong,
son, it's been too long,
thats why i got hooked on this funky lil blues song.
soldiers that has fallen,
who can still hear their familys callin,
they pray to lord above,
send us less evil and misery, and more good fortune n love, -

I really really liked him in The Ice Harvest (Even though he wasn't in it very much). I've always known him as Cousin Eddie, but after seeing The Ice Harvest I realize that he can play a much much darker character as well.
