Interesting read.

Attenborough's choice of Feynman was excellent.

If he was still with us, Lebowski would call Feynman The Dude. He worked at Caltech by day, played bongos in a strip club at night, extended quantum theory in ways that are still being understood and shown to be right and useful to humanity, and even worked on the Manhattan Project (where he nearly got thrown out for picking locks for fun!).
