Andy Kaufman was a stand-up comic, but he never liked to use that term. He considered himself an absurdist entertainer, so he found his humor in the absurd. He also, we know him from his time on "Taxi," doing almost 120 episodes as the foreign-speaking Lacta, who showed his range when he was allowed to do multiple personality disorders. After that show ended he continued with wrestling stunts, but to show the extent of his absurdist ideas, he did a wrestling stunt and supposedly broke his neck during one of these fights. He wore the neck brace for months in public, and he thought that was funny. It was found ten years after his death that he never really actually broke his neck. But towards the end of his life he was working on a script that would be the ultimate thing in showbiz history, for someone to actually fake their death, and then resurface. But he knew that the resurfacing in order to work would have to be ten, twenty, thirty years after it in order to really have some clout. He was working on a script about the subject at the time. So it was reported that he had cancer, some strange type of cancer that nobody had ever heard of, and then a year later his death certificate was issued. So actually, if Andy Kaufman is dead or alive still remains a mystery, and we're waiting for the resurfacing, which should be coming up, since the thirty year anniversary is approaching.
