Can't find any reason, but apparently his father had a really bad stutter.

He plays Ken the animal lover in A Fish Called Wanda. That character stutters terribly as well.

Is this the same Michael Palin from Monty Python? If so, I don't see it at all. :?

Hilarious movie. Kevin Kline plays a crazed hitman called Otto - too funny. John Cleese, another ex-Python, appears as uptight lawyer Archie Leach.

Cleese is an Ex-python? sweet. That reason alone I should see it. Kline too.

No way does Palin have AS. He is very social and full of humour etc. If you watch his travel shows (Around the Worlds in Eighty Days, Pole to Pole, Full Circle etc) then you would conclude that he is not an Aspie. Palin was a Python and also appeared in Terry Gilliam's Brazil as well as A Fish Called Wanda. His most recent series was Michael Palin's New Europe on the BBC.
