1. Profound

Lithgow strikes me as a smart man. I've enjoyed his acting since, "Buckaroo Bonzai".

[ChazInAz]

5. Yeah...

Oh, gods, those dirty toes!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

9. Great movie

Bayard BigBooty!

[Bayard]

24. No matter where you go,

There you are.

[Docreed2003]

28. My dad used to quote that movie all the time...

I still have our old VHS copy. Love that flick...brings back great memories of my father!

[Initech]

16. He's an awesome actor!

He was so funny in 3rd Rock From The Sun, and so creepy in Dexter. The 4th season is so brilliant of that show.

22. Watch him play Winston Churchill

On Netflix' "The Crown."
Awesome!

[Initech]

23. That's on my list!

[Wounded Bear]

2. Well said...nt

[luvMIdog]

3. I love everything and anything he's done acting

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. His recent show on NBC "Trial and Error" was hilarious.

Funny guy. Also smart.

[DarthDem]

27. It Will Be On Again Next Season

Since you referred to it in the past tense, just wanted to make sure you knew in case you were interested: NBC renewed "Trial and Error" at the last minute, surprising many. So it will be on again at some point in the new TV season.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. Good to know.

I wasn't expecting much from it based on the previews, and yet it turned out to be hilarious.

NBC doesn't always have the best track record when it comes to sitcoms so I wasn't sure whether or not it would be returning.

6. John Lithgow for Secretary of Education

devoss can clean erasers.

[MGKrebs]

7. He was excellent in "The Crown" as Churchill.

[smirkymonkey]

8. I was just thinking the same thing.

He really did a wonderful job in that role. I can't wait until the next season starts!

[Paladin]

12. Better than any portrayal of Churchill by a British actor, in my opinion.

"The Crown" is a first rate series, MUCH better than the Sunday night costume operas inflicted on us by PBS, these days.

[Aristus]

29. I'm not sure I agree.

I love John Lithgow. I've never not loved John Lithgow.

But I think Robert Hardy did quite an exceptional job as Churchill.

[Saviolo]

15. 100% agree

My previous favourite had been Timothy Spall in The King's Speech, but now I can only imagine Lithgow in that role.

[nini]

10. I remember when he came into the place I worked years ago

He is everything you'd imagine. Kind and engaging.


AND very tall

[lunatica]

11. He's always loved poetry and poetic appreciation

13. Thank you says this history professor. Nt

[AwakeAtLast]

14. This Music Teacher wholeheartedly approves!

[ybbor]

18. So does this STEM teacher!

I looked to see if this was available in poster form and have not yet, but I found a lot of other notable quotes with regard to humanities and science. This was another that I found:

“The value of an education in a liberal arts college is the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.” -Albert Einstein

Great things begin as ideas, and ideas are cultivated in the humanities.

17. John, here's a vowel - A

Some of us have understood the arts belong in the STEM program from the get-go and should be called STEAM. My son, graduating from UCLA this year is steeped in STEAM, but we're confused trying to figure if he will be taking STEM to the arts, or bringing the arts to STEM.

[Hekate]

19. Beautiful

[hunter]

21. They're calling it "STEAM" now in our part of the world.

The "A" is for arts.

Thank you, movie industry!

Blockbuster movies employ huge numbers of artists these days, entire teams of artists working on a single CGI character or set, not to mention the actors and sound tracks.

Money talks.

[VWolf]

32. Hey, that was my idea!

About 2-3 years ago, when "STEM" became vogue, I felt they should include the arts and call it STEAM.

Shoulda filed for a copyright.

[Awsi Dooger]

25. I really enjoyed him in Carnival of the Animals

Saw it live at Saratoga Performing Arts Center maybe a decade ago. Big fan of Lithgow before then and especially after.
