Such an amazing actor with such amazing range. I’m so glad i got to grow up watching his movies.
ReplyLove the idea of Arts being made important in education again – from kindergarten til the end – exposure is sooooo important ❤❤
ReplyI was a huge fan of “Dexter”, in season 4 along comes John Lithgow, he was brilliant in his role as nemesis Arthur Mitchell.
Reply4:05… So sad, John. Besides dedicated music, art, shop and even the last dregs of home economics, we had dedicated choir teachers! So by 8th grade I was going to Florida state choir contests… That I kept up when we moved to Chicago- where they light the train tracks on fire to unfreeze them in winter. Soon I was going to Illinois state choir championships.
ReplyNow I ake theatre and movie props.
now and then I bust out a little opera or the Chichester Psalms (in Hebrew) and freak everyone out.
The full time art teacher and full time music teacher must come back, such important people, elements of the school experience.
ReplyWould love to see John Lithgow and John Malkovich in a movie together
Reply05:03 Of course he is an AWESOME GUY.. He is the dude. DUder or el duderino if you are not into the whole brevity thing., I do NOT know why but every time I see Mr Lighgow I always think that he is a Canadian-born Thespian. He is not, e that man was born in the US of A.
ReplyJohn Lithgow is a classis. But if I was to mistake his identity meeting him in the steer i’d go for Stellan Skarsgad or Werner Herzog.
ReplyArts education and foreign language classes disappeared once politicians started demanding standardized testing. When test scores started dropping they brought in remedial classes to no avail. They wouldn’t listen to educators who understand child development. The Arts and FL classes are using math and language skills that stimulate other parts of the brain. Cursive handwriting stimulates the learning centers of the brain, but they got rid of that, too.
ReplyI was an extra in a movie with John Lithgow. I sat next to him in the scene and he had an art pad as a prop. I asked him about it and he took the time to show me the pictures he had drawn. What a nice person.
ReplyI’m partial to Buckaroo Bonsai
ReplyHow ‘old’ do you think Trump is MENTALLY? 👇

My answer would be “unborn” or is that merely wishful thinking?😆

Always great to see Bradley Whitford on!
ReplyThis man is such an amazing actor – with no more than the change of expression on his face in one minute you want to hug him and the next he becomes absolutely evil.
ReplyHey Dick ! How are Tommy, Sally and Harry doin ?
ReplyI’m 60 next week still working out what I want to do when I grow up
Replyno better drug than art and its experience
ReplyI’m afraid I have to disagree with the wonderful Sir Lithgow… I’ll be 48 next month and I’m STILL figuring out not only WHO I am, but also how to BE that person 😅
ReplyMy first experience of John Lithgow was as a child in the 1990’s watching Harry and the Henderson’s 😅
Replyfunding for art in schools is based on race so black & brown schools have 75% less funding for the arts ( schools are more segregated than in 1950s) fix that
