    The World According To Garp, first film I ever saw with Mr. Lithgow. He was magnificent, and that was along side power houses Glenn Close, Robin Williams, Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn. Mr. Lithgow wins the internet today with his fabulous sketches and kind presence.

      Same, I think? It could have been his role as as a plane passenger in ‘The Twilight Zone’. Either or, totally compelling, equally believable & brilliantly portrayed
      . I love John Cleese. Such a wonderfully talented soul.

    His children’s book with CD on a kid learning about an orchestra is a great gift for kindergarteners. It is obvious his skills and talents are in the arts. He probably sings and plays at least one instrument, and probably danced in at least one stage musical. His talent is amazing!
