My Take
What I admire most about Dave Coulier is the warmth that survives the silliness. A University of Michigan kid who chose stand-up and goofy impressions could have come off as lightweight, but his Joey Gladstone on Full House felt genuinely kind, and his voice work on Muppet Babies and The Real Ghostbusters proves real range. I have a soft spot for performers who can carry a scene with their voice alone. Decades on, he is still creating and connecting with audiences, and that stubborn, gentle persistence is exactly the quality I find most endearing in a lifelong entertainer.
