Tommy's not a psychopath.  He's completely desperate for attention and human connection.  That doesn't bode well for success inside a criminal conspiracy.

If he's so mysterious, how do you know he's not a psychopath?  Besides the factors you mention are hardly deal breakers.
:lol:
Okay.  I want you to imagine trying to explain to a Russian mobster why American Hollywood culture is a thousand % better than anything Russia will ever do, and actively refusing to speak the mother language.  It seems extremely unlikely to me.

Like I said, they don't need to be very bright.  Being a middle-man for running drugs can be quite profitable, and takes no special intelligence.  It's not like he would be the first French speaker to help with moving drugs into the states.  I'm not saying he does run drugs, I don't know and I don't really care, but it's hardly "impossible".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

You laugh because it hurts.

On a vaguely related note, the long-lost star of Silent Night, Deadly Night 2, Eric Freeman, surfaced last week at a screening of the movie in LA.


:w00t:

The movie was a total crapfest (and about half of it was re-used footage from the original movie), but his over the top acting was hilarious.

That seems to be the most educated conclusion.  He's not Hungarian, cause there was a Hungarian on-set who was clueless where he was from.  He's not Russian or eastern Ukrainian because he's Catholic.  He talks about invading Soviet troops, and he's not old enough to remember 45.  He seems like a Czech or Slovak who left in the early 70s for Strasbourg when he was still quite young, and his accent was influenced by it.
