Not anymore. Jason Lee has the best mustache on television. And one of the funniest shows too. By Bryan Reesman

An ex-pro-skateboarder-turned-actor, Jason Lee has played the angel Azrael in the irreverent Dogma, the charismatic lead singer of the band Stillwater in Almost Famous, and the voice of the sinister Syndrome in The Incredibles. However, the talented thespian's true breakthrough role is as the title character on the NBC series My Name Is Earl, playing a hapless crook whose personal epiphany leads him to right all his past wrongs, which he catalogs on "the List." These infractions range from bullying a childhood classmate to stealing a policeman's badge to faking his own death. Not only is Lee the star of the show, he's also a producer. The first season hits DVD shelves on September 19 and includes the "lost pilot"; season two premieres on September 21. It's a genuinely charming, funny, original show that showcases Lee's comic skills. We caught up with him to talk about that and so much more.
