| Benny & Joon - 1993 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Character Sam Distinguishing traits/features: Doe eyed innocence Walking cane Likes to perch upon tree branches Can recite all the lines from "Prom Queen Muitlator" Light on his Keatonesque feet Trivia Sam tasting the paint was totally improvised by Johnny. Johnny did all of the stunts for the physical comedy sequence in the park himself. When writing his letter home, Johnny uses his left hand (although he is a righty) in order to make the handwriting appear more childlike. |

| “The movie’s a kind of weird triangle, so I’m falling in love with her and in a way, I’m also falling in love with him, because he’s this guy I can never be like.” |
| “I gravitate towards someone who is different, who is judged by his appearance instead of his heart, who is looked upon as a freak. I guess you could ay that freaks are my heroes.” |
| Director Jeremiah Chechik: “He is so emotionally expressive, doing what seems to be so little. It was clear to me all along that he would bring a thoroughly original and exciting energy to the role of Sam.” |
| “I had a great time getting reacquainted with Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, and Charlie Chaplin. Comedy, especially physical comedy, is extremely demanding. I developed even greater respect for those guys as I began to try to do what they did in such a seemingly effortless way.” |
