How come? For his remarkable turn in the hilarious mockumentary Kenny, following the exploits of a portable toilet technician. The film is something of a Jacobson family project.
Go on. Co-written by Shane, directed by his brother with roles going to his father and his nephew. Kenny is an opportunity to give dignity to bottom-rung, hard-working stiffs.
It's also a tribute to the underdog wit of the Aussie working classes. Such as? "There's a smell in there that'll outlast religion.
" Or Kenny's thoughts on marriage: "Cut out the middle man, find someone you hate and buy them a house." Jacobson's winning performance makes this the sweetest film ever about poo. You've read the piece, now have your say.
