Considering the recent behavior of actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi Quaid, people are starting to consider whether or not the disorder could be an explanation (link). Remember when Mr. Quaid was just Cousin Eddie <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=varietypsych.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11785809&amp;post=1889&amp;subd=varietypsych&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Ekman is a psychologist known for his research on emotions, namely the universality of basic emotions (i.e. happy, sad, fear, anger, disgust, surprise).
