He had a lot of talent, and Denis Leary stole his act. RIP, Bill.

Russell Crowe announced in 2012 that he will direct a Bill Hicks biopic.[61] Crowe was originally thought to be playing the comedian, but Mark Staufer, the actor's schoolmate and writer on the film, has suggested the part is now open for casting. Production was expected to start in 2013.[62]

and started pushing Linda Thompson's crazy militia nonsense?

I was stunned the filmmakers left that debunked stuff (he saw a "tank spraying fire" at Waco and knows more than you about how things work!) in unchallenged in the recent Hicks biopic.

If Hicks were living, I'm firmly convinced he would have drifted further in that direction and became an Alex Jonser.

A true human being. Someone who spoke his truth and backed it up with his convictions. He didn't back down. We as a country need more people who do the same in their own way. He is missed.
