He's such an empty vessel that anyone can place themselves in his shoes - there's nothing prohibitive about him, nothing complex standing between his character and the audience.

But then again he also wrote an article called "Everything I Need to Learn in Life I Learned from ROADHOUSE"
-Be Nice... Until it's time to not be nice
-Always carry your medical records on you
-Pain is temporary, chicks dig scars
-The Mullet is always more powerful than the crewcut...etc
