What was Phil Hartman's style considered?
was described as "a regular guy and, by all accounts, one of show business' most low-key, decent people".
How did this help his career?
often played seedy, vain or unpleasant characters as well as comedic villains.
He noted that his standard character was a "jerky guy", and described his usual roles.

Question: Did he enjoy playing these parts?
