Not Just for Leprechauns

Gus is a treasure. He's Hermione Granger, only more high-strung. He's a geek, he's fastidious, he sweats the details. Even Adrian Monk admires his sartorial neatness. He was pre-law, you know. He has a highly sensitive nature and a heightened sense of smell. And he can scream like a banshee when he thinks there's a ghost in the area.

From now on, Gus should provide the voiceover for all drug commercials. When it comes to articulating repulsive side effects, Gus is preeminent--"headaches, toothaches, stomachaches, balding, weight loss, weight gain, severe oily valve discharge, and, in rare cases, it makes you pee fire."

Let's hear it for Burton Guster. He doesn't need a wand: He has a magic head.
