A lot of people don’t know that Gilbert Gottfried was actually an accomplished actor who took on dramatic roles. He once played President Lincoln, and while Daniel Day Lewis‘ performance garnered most of the awards, Gilbert’s attention to detail and commitment to the part were commendable. RIP old friend.

Breaking: Gilbert Gottfried was at the end of a long-term illness, but he was able to upload his own eulogy. It’s poignant and sad, but you can detect glimpses of hope.

He sets it up like a joke, but you need to listen to the end for the impact. Gilbert was truly a profound man.
