We all know that Jean-Ralphio's role on 'Parks and Recreations' was just a cover for the foremost Trotskyite, but did you know that Louis C.K. once went toe to toe with Marlon Brando in that actor's most famous scene? Or that he won an Oscar as a small town sheriff in 'In the Heat of the Night'?

This is probably all due to Steiger being a method actor, and his reinvention was so complete that nobody noticed this about the star of 'Louie'  until now.
