Doctor” Take THAT for what you did to Big Pussy”

Could we not wax so eloquent about an average actor who was given the role of his lifetime and then had the “how can I get idolized” strategy to die young?

If Howard Winkler had died after the first 5 seasons of Happy Days we would be talking about him in the same breathless tones as Gandolfini and James Dean.

The best line about actors came surprisingly during a scene in the movie “My Favorite Year” when two neighbors speaking about Peter O’Toole hanging down below their balcony exclaim

” I believe that Alan Swann is beneath us”

“Of course he is beneath us “ claims the neighbor “he is an actor”
