I’ll have to check this book out.

ETA: John Lithgow married a MT woman. They live near Flathead Lake year round.

at a table next to John Lithgow's. (I wonder if he had started writing this book at that point.) My husband was star stuck and embarrassing. I am seldom impressed by anyone. I just wanted to get out of the restaurant before my husband embarrassed me more.

Not sure why, but I think of him as our American John Cleese.

Both supremely talented - maybe that's why.

Both are wonderfully talented. I also thought Lithgow was British for a long time.

of Mr. Lithgow and have been practically forever. Since Ricochet at minimum. Man, he does comedy, drama and makes a great villain too. Can never forget his Twilight Zone episode. Heartbreaking. Now that I know he's "one of us" (didn't know) I like him even MORE

I hated him as Roger Ailes in Bombshell, which just shows how he can inhabit a role.

"Carnival of the Animals" at SPAC

One of the most memorable performances I ever saw there, in the 12+ years I was a summer regular

Played a conflicted attorney that was P Mason's mentor. Was really good, as usual. What surprised me was that his son, Ian Lithgow, was also in the series. He played the son of the attorney. The thing that made me look to see who this younger actor was, was the voice. I literally thought John Lithgow was dubbing in the voice for the son, it sounded so much like John. Really threw me for a few minutes, until I looked at the cast and saw that the voice must run in the family!

Started loving him in Harry and the Hendersons, then he sealed the deal forever with 3rd Rock from the Sun. And now he writes anti-drumpf childrens books - oh be still my beating heart!
