Five favorite Eugene Levy characters

Eugene Levy is a comedic genius. Granted, I haven't seen all of his fine work, but what I have seen is always great. Here are five of my favorites.


5. The Car Salesman in National Lampoon's Vacation 
     A small, but vital role. This is the first of many screw yous Clark Griswold (aka Chevy Chase) will get over the course of the National Lampoon's vacation movies.


4. Gil Bender, Greg the Bunny
     Gil, the director of Sweet Knuckle Junction, father to Jimmy, and all around control freak. A hilarious addition to any scene.


3. Plug Gard, Dilbert
     A one-scene guys star (alongside Jerry Seinfeld of all people), in episode 'The Return'. It's on youtube and netflix if your curious. I love the whole show, and this episode is worth a watch or ten.


2. Guy Fontenot, Almost Heroes
     Of course he's French! Why else would he speak with that outrageous accent?! The larger than life counterpart to the team's Indian Guide, Levy isn't in much, but what he is in is comedy gold.




1.  Mitch Cohen, A Mighty Wind
     A drugged-out relic from times gone by, Mitch is both funny and sad. The kiss between him and Mickey still tears me up a little. He's not a bad singer, either.
