Yeah I agree, I think that much of that may have been a cultivated approach based on his own persona.. His early series (which was the wierd weekends IIRC) showed it could work for him, then he hones the style on more media savvy types.

But I still love the way he will throw himself into things with little fear of embarrassing himself.. I have always liked and respected people who dont value others opinions or dont worry how they appear too much. Lois has a way of being simultaneously nerdy, gawky, shy, awkward, and not especially charismatic yet appears to have some deep self confidence to just do things on camera and let the world see who he is without fear.

He really has a way of showing new sides to people not only negative ones.. I always thought Eubanks the boxer was a total nob jockey but the Lois docu on him showed him in a totally new light.. The same could be said for many of the people hes covered.

Also gets my interest being the son of Paul Theroux who writes with such an open and personal way..
