Good actor. 67 is a lot younger than it used to be.

I'm sure i'm not the only one here can repeat that movie almost line for line.

"does barry manilow know you raided his wardrobe?"

Paul Gleason played the role of Mr. Cushman in "The Opposite" episode where George decides since he is a failure in everything he does he may as well be the opposite. This is where he Mr. Steinbrenner hires him.

You can read the script at : http://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheOpposite.htm

You need to scroll about 2/3 of the way down to read Mr. Cushman's lines. This is not an official script. A fan transcribed it.

I haven't seen anything else either about asbestos exposure. It's pretty much the only way that you can get mesothelioma. A very painful way to die.

Yes, I can recite every line....and was able to meet Paul a few years back after a movie premiere. I told him how me & my friends watched Breakfast Club so many times....blah blah blah....even gave him the Barry Manilow line & he didn't seem to mind. He even invited me to sit down in his booth.

Dang. There was a story about him not a year ago or so I think it was, and he seemed perfectly healthy.

RIP. That's young to go any more. Prayers for him and his family.

Dang. One of the great character actors, no matter who he was playing, I bought it completely. Rest in peace, Paul.

I wish I could quit you "Not Another Teen Movie"!

LOL! As for your tagline, you might want to see this.

Dont have to do anything really...I am 39 and I am 40% gray...largely because of genetics, also probably because I didnt take enough calcium growing up. Mom says Ive been getting gray hair since I was 16, but I dont remember seeing any until my mid-20s. Still, it has nothing to do with leading a hard life...just genetics.

I only recently learned this actor's real name.

He was and always will be known to me as "Clarence Beeks".

Great character actor. He will be missed in the entertainment biz.

The same disease that killed Warren Zevon. What a shame.
