Apparently, if he's playing some role, whether it's acting the part of a pirate captain or a retired cop or a '70's Funkster, he doesn't have a problem with being in front of a crowd, but as himself, he does...as Mr. Spock would say, "Interesting....".

Perhaps it has something to do with this guilt he's been harbouring for the past thirty years. Obviously, he's got a problem with his confidence, he has a pretty low self esteem, and has seen himself as a horrible little creature for a large amount of time after that unfortunate accident back home. But perhaps when playing a role of some sort, he feels better about it, because it's not HIS character he's portraying. If you ask me, he's probably gonna get better at speaking in front of crowds now that he can finally put the past behind him. It'll probably take a while, since it takes a while to get over any fear as bad as his, but I think he can do it. I mean, even he WAS a little nervous speaking over the intercom in "Better ff Ed" he wasn't too bad... It just sounded as though he was trying to cough up a rabbit or something. But, hey, baby steps, baby steps...
