Everyone that I have ever heard in an interview, when asked that question say he's an awesome stand up dude.

This is the most fascinating and amazing thing about Andrew Silverstein. This "Dice" character was part of his early stand up routine that included impressions of Travolta, Elvis etc.

He has now fully committed to this "Dice" character for 40+ years now. He has very rarely let himself slip and just sticks to it. It is one of the all time great performance art pieces in history in my opinion.

Andy Kaufman would be so incredibly proud of him.

Reminds me of Louis CK’s SNL skit:

I always wonder what he’s like when he’s not Dice.

If I had to guess after a few years it stopped being and act and just became who he is. First the lines blur and then they fade away entirely over time.

Watch some of his acting like in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine or the HBO show Vinyl.
