A fabulous yet forgotten actor. You say the name and nobody recognizes
it. You see him in a film and you think: "Hey it's that guy again. Where
have I seen him before?" Well the odds are you've probably seen him in
a whole lot. Always turning in a great performance, he's never really been
given the chance to carry a movie.You may remember him as the blind "Whistler"
in Sneakers with Robert Redford. He has also starred alongside other big
names such as Meryl Streep in The
River Wild and Nick Nolte in
Mother
Night, not
to mention what may have been his best performance to date as Kathy Bates'
drunk & abusive husband in Dolores Clayborne. For a complete filmography,

Would you believe
that this Hollywood talent roamed around our very halls of Redwood?
Well he did. Just another one of the fine products of this humble educational
facility.
