4. He had amazing hand skills, and he could look uncoordinated pulling them off.

10. WOW! I just learned THIS from Wikipedia...

"W.C. Fields was a highly successful professional juggler. Before transitioning into comedy and acting, he spent roughly 20 years touring as an internationally famous "silent juggler" in vaudeville and starring on Broadway in the Ziegfeld Follies."

Truly amazing!
