In a couple of movies he plays a character who becomes popular due to a fraud. In the first, he's elected president when a computer program gives the wrong election result. In "[[World's Greatest Dad]]" his character provides the fraud when he palms off his own writing as that of his dead son.
Many of his movies deal with death. He played an Alaskan murderer; a pediatrician who dies in a car accident (and then his wife commits suicide) in "[[What Dreams May Come]]".
