    This man looks fantastic at 87. He still looks like Jeff goldblum’s father from Independence Day.

    Taylor too directly conjures up connections with Sheriff Andy Taylor from Mayberry (The Andy Griffith Show)

    The title is wrong, it was Tony Danza who played his dog and not Danny de Vito.

    I saw Judd Hirsch perform on stage in London in a play once. He’s a true actor. Brilliant performance to the core. Deeply truthful. I’m so lucky to have seen him acting live.

    Kimmel is such a phony he really is. Not an once of sincerity, just asking stupid question agreeing with everyone never once do I Find him honest.
