Watched the Steve Martin doc on AppleTV. I hadn't noticed before (this is my observation, not the film's) how much Andy Kaufman honed characters that seem at least inspired by Martin's early work. Both did "bombing comedian" characters; Martin's was a clueless blowhard, while Kaufman's was a clueless innocent.
Anyway, fascinating career (and life) arc.
