When I lived in NYC I spent many an evening waiting for the F so to me the G is sort of six of one. I appreciate the joke tho!

I’m fine with this if they cast me as Lionel Barrymore.

James Urbaniak @jamesurbaniak.bsky.social · Aug 5

Laughton really comes into his own as a screen actor in this. He holds back for the most part and the malevolence simply emanates.

After the show (a matinee) I stood outside the Public and watched the cast exit. Richard B. Schull made airplane wings with his arms as he walked up Lafayette Street and Olympia Dukakis laughed at him and said "What are you doing?!" I wasn't a professional actor yet and I thought "This is the life."
