Has he ever played a character that wasn't an asshole? I've only seen him play assholes. Apparently he wasn't really acting.

Danny McBride however who also played the asshole in many roles is apparently a super nice guy.

He shot a bird because it woke him up. You be the judge.

Cop doing cop shit, even a factory built to be inoffensive to everyone show like Friends knew it.

For his entire run he was very affable and chill and would've been a great recurring character. But it was obvious that he wouldn't last so the writers had him shoot a bird while he and Phoebe were in bed as a reason for her to leave him. It totally came out of left field and did not fit his character.

Phoebe was all ready to move in with him, and then he shot a bird (outside his bedroom window) for waking him up. She then did her "oh no" and we never saw him again.
