My Take
Bronson Pinchot is one of those actors who gave us a character so perfectly ridiculous that it's basically impossible to forget — Balki Bartokomous from Perfect Strangers is genuinely one of the great sitcom creations of the 1980s, and Pinchot played that wide-eyed immigrant from the fictional island of Mypos with such committed, elastic energy that the show worked far better than it had any right to. What a lot of people overlook is that this Yale-educated guy was also sneaking into serious movies: his bit part as the flamboyant Serge in Beverly Hills Cop is a masterclass in stealing a scene from Eddie Murphy, which is no small feat. He's also built a serious second career as an audiobook narrator, winning an Audie Award — proof that the voice is as expressive as the rubber face.
