Paul Giamatti stole every scene he was in

I have'nt watched Private Parts in years but I recently watched it again and was amazed by Giamatti. He was on the Stern show I think earlier this year and mentioned that PP was his breakthrough into the business and it shows, he brings so much life to that character that I could actually watch an entire movie about PigVomit. I think he also stands out due to the fact that Howard and crew are'nt really trained actors, but literally every scene he appears in is a homerun.

I totally concur. I know it seems really cliched to say this but when I saw him in this movie ten years ago, I knew he was gonna be a name to remember, and that one day he'd find fame.

I agree. I watched the movie a few nights ago for the first time in probably five years. Paul Giamatti was great throughout. He has some classic lines in the movie as well, such as: You are the "motherflucking" anti-christ! Funny stuff.

That is correct, he is THE MAN!

'Howard GODDAMMN ITTTTTT!!!' - - Legend

If you thought he was good in that buy SIDEWAYS if you havent seen/got already...that is genius and it also has the Sandman in it, in his best role so far.

I agree. He was fantastic in "Private Parts." But I couldn't remember his name for years! "Paul Somethin-somethin." So I'd refer to him as "Pig Vomit from Private Parts."

Speaking of Pig Vomit .... does anyone know why they changed Pig Virus to Pig Vomit?

Cause the real guy his character was based on probably would've sued.

What, did he trademark an insult?

[–] charcoalchicken 18 years ago

Yeah he did he was great, Howard Stern was good too but I spose it wouldn't be too hard playing yourself

I def agree with all the Positive praise of Paul Giamatti! He has had a great acting career since starring in Private Parts as Kevin/Pig Vomit.
Paul is a great actor and has made a indelible mark on Hollywood for his professional. He can play serious and comedic and do so flawlessly!

Everytime I see this actor, I think of "Pig Vomit". W.NNNNNNNNNNNNN.B.C. Ironically, I do not care much for Howard Stern, but a great movie!

Paul Giamatti is incredible in everything he does... That guy is ridiculously talented all around.

And I agree with the previous post, when watching Private Parts, there was no question in my mind that Paul would go on to great things.

The first time I saw Private Parts, I watched the credits to find out who played Pig Vomit because I thought he was great. I had never seen him before, and I knew I would not be seeing the last of him. I was especially surprised to find out his father was the late Baseball Commissioner Bart Giamatti.
