Yep, I knew about Cliff Gorman but hadn't checked so didn't remember he'd made it to his mid-60s. Better. 65 used to be old. Not anymore. Still, he had a very nice career.
I first saw him playing one of the card players in a Julie Harris-headed Streetcar Named Desire. And first saw Peter White in a summer stock Barefoot In The Park. And Leonard Frey in Fiddler. And heard Ken Nelson on the Fantasticks album. The others came with the movie and recording of the play, and, of them, only Laurence Luckinbill had an extended career. He was terrific in Shadow Box, giving density to a part that may be underwritten and acting in sync with Patricia Elliot. I once stole his approach to a monologue from the script, but it made no sense out of context and I only seemed to be racing.
And I knew about the Boys documentary but haven't seen it. But it's great context for people who don't already have it.
Thanks, all. |
