(2,050 posts)Always a favorite, "The Continental" from SNL, "The Man with a plan" from "Things to do in Denver when you're dead", the mouse catcher in " Mouse Hunt", etc, etc...
Every role a classic.
Nobody does it better.

Famous tough guy Caan did a song-and-dance number in a film once, and fans kept telling him: "I didn't know you could sing and dance!"
His reply: "Nobody ever asked me to. It's always: 'Here, punch this guy.' "
