Here are 4 guys in one of those TV talk shows of an earlier day. If they were actors playing their parts, you might say that it is almost over-acted (Buckley especially so). Sometimes a person can learn things but studying examples "out in the field".

Drunken Kerouac is still harmless if compared with Klaus Kinski. I don't know whether he is much known outside of Germany - but this guy's rants are the cherry on the ego-cake... ;)

Here he is being interviewed by a German TV-Crew... As far as ego-studies are concerned - this is also interesting. ;) [There are English-subtitles available.]

Edit: I just changed the link as I found it to be not the one I actually wanted to share. So now it is the interview I was talking about...;)
