He was a character.  Some people can play batshyt crazy pretty well...mostly because they are batshyt crazy.

Whatever works, eh?

PS - He wasn't in The Hunt for Red October (1990)...but he was the senior Admiral in Down Periscope (1996)

Yup, batshyt crazy can be entertaining...

I'd have had a drink with him...and observe the ensuing festivities...

Add me to that list. I've heard stories, but never paid much attention to them.
