There is, I believe I saw that there's like... kickstarter documentary that's being funded about jim varney um and that like obviously we all know him as earnest uh he played other things too but also that his his background like if you were to see him acting in college he would be he's like fucking lawrence olivier or something yeah it's like wow for him to get locked into this character i mean certainly i'm sure it it was very good for him monetarily, but I'm sure as an actor, he probably felt a little bit unsatisfying.
