Best in Show
, real-life tennis star Bill Tilden in the off-Broadway play
Big Bill
, a Catholic priest dying of AIDS in a controversial episode of
Nothing Sacred
that never aired on network TV — Higgins is a straight actor who masterfully embodies over-the-top characters of all orientations. His breakthrough role came in 1996, when he did a fine (if at times grotesque) impression of David Letterman in the TV-movie
The Late Shift
. While the real late-night talk-show host despised Higgins' work, it got the actor noticed and he quickly became a perennial small-screen guest star, usually playing characters that were bitchy, uptight or both. His uproarious turn in Christopher Guest's 2000 mockumentary
Best in Show
jump-started his film career, and he subsequently appeared in supporting roles in both blockbusters (
Blade: Trinity
) and indies (Guest's

).
