This includes his days playing Lenny Kosnowski in the TV sitcom Laverne & Shirley to David St. Hubbins in the 80s mockumentary This is Spinal Tap, and now to Chuck McGill in the ongoing crime drama Better Call Saul.
Michael McKean is also one of those rare do-it-all actors as he can portray heart-wrenching dramatic scenes to hilarious comedic situations and punchlines. After all, Michael McKean was a regular in SNL, Saturday Night Live, for two seasons. However, it was the uniqueness of Spinal Tap that put him over the top. Spinal Tap didn’t have any screenplay and was basically created and delivered right on spot, making it a craze among viewers not only in the United States but around the world. Bottom line is that Michael McKean’s acting as the spiteful and hateful Chuck in Better Call Saul could antagonize any viewer. On the other hand, his amazing and out-of-this-earth punchlines and comedy savvy make him an immortal icon in American culture.
