It occurred to me the other day that, much like Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow is a cross between Keith Richards and Pepe Le Pew, there’s another live action performance that’s just as informed by a Warner bros. character—perhaps even moreso. I mean, aside from species, is there any real difference between Wallace Shawn’s Vizzini in The Princess Bride and Daffy Duck?
The two characters are a perfect blend of smug certainty and exasperation, and I’d be very surprised if Wallace Shawn didn’t have a certain fowl in mind when crafting his performance.

I told my kids that I knew Vizzini.
They didn't believe me; I should a picture from Thoma's wedding. They think I am a God now
Well, I guess that's the difference, then.
Nobody's ever said I look like Daffy Duck.
Greg, you look like Daffy Duck.
There it has been done.
BTW that was you at the wedding? I thought it was Wallace.
