To celebrate the birth anniversary of one of my favorite comedians, let’s celebrate his amazing face flag of filaments.
In the film I’m Not There, Cross plays Allan Ginsberg, who coincidentally had a beautiful freakin’ beard back in the day. See the film — this thing was blowin’ in the wind when rode up in a three-wheeled golf cart next to Dylan’s car. It’s a life-changing moment to see something already so huge blown up on a 40-foot theater screen. (Here’s the scene.)
Even though he’s a comedian, this beard is nothing to laugh at. Like an enormous zeppelin floating lightly under his chin, Cross’ mighty fluff strengthens the man’s physique (he usually looks frail) and emboldens his persona. It’s a crazy mane that few could handle. I’m just glad somebody did.

I love the open letter to Larry. My favorite David Cross thing may be the Michel Gondry video where he wears a poo suit.

yalls brutalizing me.
Is that even a real beard? Prosthetics are getting better if it isn't.
nice beard.
let's go watch Arrested Development.
One can get a 10-rating for a once-off beard? David Cross often does wear a daily beard, but it ain't nothing like that one. (though his mustache in Arrested Development was nothing to laugh at)...
@ joshua
A - I think it's prosthetic.
B - I don't think this site takes itself seriously. I mean, half the time the dude writes about commitment, the rest of the time it sounds like he's trying to avoid the word "awesome" (but fails).
