    All his amazing work, and I’ll be darned if I can’t shake seeing him as Dr. Emilio Lizardo.

    I will always remember him as George Henderson, in Harry and the Hendersons. That and the goonies were my favorite movies as a kid.

    Home is where you wear your hat! Character is what you are in the dark!

    I’ve always admired John Lithgow in his lesser roles like Ricochet or Cliffhanger. He makes such a convincingly sinister villain.

    Santa Claus: The Movie. This was the film that me and my sisters watched an ungodly amount of times. Panned critically but couldn’t care less, he was a great bad guy/foil to the kids/Santa and Dudley Moore. Better than most other Santa movies that came before and after.

    Third Rock was the funniest show on TV and Lithgow was instrumental in its success.

    That’s the kind of anything goes energy I can get behind. Also, Harry and the Hendersons.
