It was a risky role for him and he embraced it with a fearlessness and joy that demonstrated his brilliance as an artist. He truly cared about his craft and was a true professional in every sense. Our hearts go out to his loved ones and his Baskets family &#8211; Zach Galifianakis, Jonathan Krisel and Martha Kelly, and all the cast and crew.
