I’m guessing he is a pretty good actor…since it took everyone 30+ years to figure this out.
He then disappeared in shame only to come back as The Plague in Hackers.
[Wikipedia says](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_Stevens#Early_life) a “white Jewish kid from Chicago.”
Yup, that’s acting, pretending your something your not
Exactly 0 people were hurt, and the movie was fun. So fun that it got a sequel, and a gang motto easily remembered by millions. “Los lobos kick your ass, Los lobos kick your face, Los lobos kick your balls into outer spaaaaace.” Wall-E is also modeled after johnny 5.
After a long chat on the phone, Ansari concluded that Stevens “is not a villain, but was, when he took the role, a well-intentioned if slightly misguided young actor who needed a job during a more culturally insensitive time.”
