andy kaufman

I remember him being some Eastern European mechanic in the series 'Taxi' but that aside I don't know anything else about him.

rem sang about him

Yes I have the book on him called 'lost in the funhouse'
A bit fruity he was.
He used to call himself the intersex champion of the world and dressed up in wrestling costume, but he'd only wrestle women

He was a very strange comic.
Among the things he did was to just read a book out loud to his audience, or to get some coaches and take the whole audience home for a drink!
He was very tall, I believe 6'4" or so, which imo, he didn't look - not this has anything to do with anything.

Also REM's song "man on the moon" was about him and not about whether man went to the moon or not - despite what conspiracy theorists believe.

book was 'the great gatsby ' .

35 is a young age to die from lung cancer.  Assuming he really is dead.

Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond
2017 ‧ Documentary ‧ 1h 34m

Using 100 hours of footage from the set of "Man on the Moon," filmmaker Chris Smith documents Jim Carrey's transformation into legendary performance artist and comedian Andy Kaufman.

I've seen this is in the documentary section on Kodi lately. It's not something that I think I'd enjoy, but some of you may.
