I actually remember him more for a line he delivers in "My Fellow Americans;" he plays a top guy in the Democratic party, and when a nosy reporter confronts him about what's going on with one of the main characters, a former president and Democrat, while he's eating at a restaurant, he says, "Now, if you'll excuse me, my salad is getting cold," as a way of dismissing her. When I see him in those diabetes commercials, I double-take and ask why he isn't in a suit and poking at greens.
