Tin Men all the way, although I might've voted for Herbert Powell if it were an option.
generally have a high regard for him as a performer, but as a director he's responsible for some of the worst 'dark comedy' of all time.

I love a lot of these roles, but Frank Reynolds is all-time bonkers and imo impossible to beat.

This probably isn't even the best Louie moment, but it's always what comes to mind when I think of DeVito.

He had a very nice bit in Solitary Man, although it depended on the audience's awareness of all the DeVito-Michael Douglas movies over the years.

Those ha-ha-ha's were me laughing. Nobody else laughed. After I finished there was a long, tense, embarrassed pause. Mr. Devito averted his eyes. He was obviously hurt. All he said was, "I'd rather not do any height jokes."

Yeah I picked Taxi. It was the first non-cheesy/not always a happy ending sitcom I saw on Nick at Nite.

I liked him in Solitary Man, Hoffa, and Man on the Moon, and I think his Penguin was the scariest villain from the first Batman cycle. So I'll vote for Cuckoo's Nest, for no other reason that it's my favorite film on the list. (He is really funny it it, though.) A very likeable actor, the Penguin notwithstanding.

Hmm:
Danny DeVito Completes Production on Apocalyptic Thriller "I was truly excited about getting behind the camera on this one. It is my first foray into the thriller genre and I've enjoyed the challenge of making an 89 minute edge-of-your-seater..."The film revolves around a wounded cop, a wounded murderer and a sultry nurse. The three are thrust together, as war rages outside the only possible safe house, an abandoned City Hospital. With no doctors and only a few poor decrepit souls as witnesses, it becomes a rats' maze as the antagonistic trio get separated, and we find out the real reason they are there.

One of Hollywood's longest-lived, shortest-statured marriages is on the rocks: TMZ is reporting that Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are separating after 30 years of marriage. Thirty years! What's more, they'd been dating for eleven years before they actually wed, which means that in "Hollywood years," the two had been together for roughly a googol. Best of luck to them both.
