I got to meet him at an art opening back in the 90's. The accounts of him as a genuine nice guy, I feel, are accurate. As far as appearance goes he was definitely more urbane than his sweater-wearing persona on the TV show would suggest. Of course he was a sophisticated creative person in an environment with adults. Meanwhile, we were all silently channeling our innermost 5-year-old selves (he probably knew that and was used to it)!
