Topic: A discovery about David Duchovny
Actor Robert Hegyes, fondly remembered by those of a certain age as Juan Epstein on Welcome Back Kotter, has died prematurely of a heart attack. In watching the clip of the show on the article's page, I suddenly realized the thing that has bugged me about David Duchovny all these years. His acting style is strangely similar to that of Gabe Kaplan, Mr. Kotter himself. Sure the accent is different, but look at the way he holds himself, the cadence of his delivery, and the half-hearted gesturing. Plus, put a mustache and bushy hair on Duchovney, and he could pass for Kaplan easily in full daylight.
Watch the clip. It's hilarious. Also, James Fucking Woods is in it. Awesome.
