Oh my god I thought I knew you from somewhere!
He did a nation-wide tour while it was in the theaters. Every day, eight times a day, in the lobby. Explaining, defending, then back on the bus. Town to town, state to state. A long, arduous, hard life-- but he wasn't in it for himself. It was for the line-- so people would understand.
He did get a small career boost when the movie got a limited re-release. He even worked up some new material, but all people really wanted to hear was his defense of the line. Eventually he just gave up, and gave the audience what they expected of him. What he'd become.
He faded away after the movie hit home release. He was going to cut a deal with Best Buy for an in-store tour, but digital sales and illegal downloads cut so deep into that market that it never came to be.
But at least-- for the honor if not for the money-- there will always be forums. He lives on.
