I guess if one were to create a prototypical alien, he could use Monk as his model. There is distance, stoicism, cluelessness, mannerisms that make no sense. Monk spots what he thinks is a UFO and when it is verified, every nut comes out of the woodwork. He is continually accosted by people wearing ridiculous costumes and attempting to get him to reveal his tru being. Way too much. At times Tony Shaloub has a bit of a grin.
