It was that "Who-Ha", "Scent of a Woman" film that did him in, I think. The saying is that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". But not in the acting game. On the other hand, who can do an imitation of Julia Roberts, Ben Afflect or Matt Damon, et al, and know who it is, right ? At least they have that going for them.Of his same class, Christopher Walken, is much better and harder to pin down and understand.

I have great respect for Chris, he is a deep actor. It is natural to hate him some of for his roles, but he is not a plywood cutout.
Did you see the original "Scent" with Vittorio Gassman?Papa Vittorio was a trully great man of the cinema. In that film he does some silly things, and given the nature of the subject you should expect some such stuff.
But man, at least there was none of that blind race horses@@t! The Italians usually know where to stop - except in their pants, which they cut two inches below the hill... I like that!
The original was far more enjoyable overall, even with the corny and silly things. The scenery helped too, I think.
Certainly none of that silly "Who-Haaa" stuff, I'm sure !
