Oh yes, this fellow who was once married to Julie Cobb and has done all of these acting roles over the years. Really makes his opinions worth paying attention to, eh?
OMG she was Lee J Cobbs’s daughter.
I don't know who she is, but after I looked them up, I wonder if James was permanently scarred by being Lee J. Cobb's son in law.
Cromwell's father, John, was a director and actor who was blacklisted during the McCarthy era. The online consensus seems to be that Cromwell Sr. wasn't actually a Communist, but who can say?
James Cromwell was Archie Bunker's pal, Stretch Cunningham. I thought Stretch was one of those characters that get talked about on the show without ever turning up, but apparently not.
Never thought much of the guy myself... knew her a little since my wife and I are friends with her brother Vincent Cobb.
