    John Lithgow's season on Dexter was amazing.

    • @pruney1977
      @pruney1977 Před rokem +1

      He really elevated that show in his season, it’s a great show but it had dipped a little, and it just wooshed up with John, and it seemed effortless on his part

    If there's anything you need to see in this lifetime as a observer of the art of acting it would be John Lithgow and Gary Oldman having a discussion about playing Churchill.

    • @ToddDouglasFox
      @ToddDouglasFox Před rokem

      Where is that discussion? Where’s the discussion with Oldman? This is Bacon and Lithgow discussing Churchill. I’ve only found separate interviews of Oldman and Lithgow discussing playing Winston Churchill. ??

      I was thinking I would so love to see LIthgow and Oldman discussing their approaches to the character. Would be so cool. Or maybe uncomfortable?

    Criminally underrated. Lithgow is a giant ...Bacon always more and more refined each role, if you take away social media and our cult of personality, you forget that his brand supersedes his resume, which is unfortunate. I still feel great sadness that he, as many was taken advantage of, by Madoff.
