I've just watched the documentary Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond, about the filming of Man on the moon where Jim basically became Kaufman and all those characters Kaufman did, constantly on set which was as much impressing people, freaking people out and exhausting people. The scene with Jim being invited to the Playboy mansion in the midst of filming the movie but doing it a bit different is great.
But lately there's been more. He's changed, a lot. There's the brilliant when he's at home painting. Invited to sitcoms he's not the goofy guy anymore, as he was during The Mask, Ace Ventura and that era. He's venturing some deep stuff and often weird. You really don't know where you have him, if it's all an act, a role, exactly like Kaufman would turn up.
