    I was an extra in a movie with John Lithgow. I sat next to him in the scene and he had an art pad as a prop. I asked him about it and he took the time to show me the pictures he had drawn. What a nice person.

      I think I might've begged him to give me a signed and dated sketch. Heck, I would've settled for an autographed stick figure.

      I'm glad to hear he is as gracious as he seems. I met Don Knots and he refused to give me his autograph. He was my hero. I was 12 and he never got any rest on the set of " The Return of the Apple Dumpling Gang" again. We knew what room he was in and knocked on his door and ran, over and over. He should have given me the autograph. Lol He crushed my image and the respect I had for him. Everyone else gave me their autograph, but I went there for his. I would love to be able to sit with John Lithgow. Such an amazing actor and comedian. Definitely would love to have John's autograph.

      My father, who passed away during the COVID pandemic, dedicated the years following his retirement from electronics engineering to teaching music and restoring hundreds of discarded instruments for students and children in schools. I have had many emails from people who tell me how profoundly my father changed their lives. Thank You for being a music teacher.

      It truly is. Art and music are a form of self expression, and they wonder what's wrong with kids today. Give them what they need to self express. They need guidance to get there.

    I was at a Broadway show in NYC a long time ago with my son, his girlfriend and dear friends. I saw John Lithgow in the audience with his children. My son dared me to go talk to him; I had told my son how much I enjoyed John's artistry as an actor. So, I did... walked over and told John how much I loved him as an actor. He was very gracious and thanked me. John had on the most beautiful long black quilted coat... I have always enjoyed that memory. ♡D

I love his voice, his laugh, his wit and warmth. A dearheart of a human. He has never failed to bring such depth and meaningfulness to every character he has ever played. Thank you, John Lithgow, for all the years of art on film. You are human art.

    I know who Jon Lithgow is, I love his work, but as famous as he is for his many several roles, he is not John Lithgow the actor on any of them, he creates the role and it grabs you as someone who truly is believably that character, and you love that character, this is a true actor talent not always achieved by just anyone, Mr. Lithgow is a special soul to the world of the passion of acting.

    Creativity enables openmindedness, kindness, boldness and self-actualization - rather than the conformity, closemindedness, competitiveness and ignorance that the US public AND private education system brainwash students minds with. Schooling was designed to contain and control not to liberate and inspire, which is why authentic, meaningful and enjoyable learning rarely happens in most schools.

    What art does to us: It teaches us to evaluate: What have we got? What can we make of it? And doing art together is learning to appreciate that everyone sees the ressources, the world and his/her abilities in a totally different way and that it is exiting to mutually discover those ways.
    Compare this with the opinion that far too many people have: "I know the only truth how the world works!"

    Arts education and foreign language classes disappeared once politicians started demanding standardized testing. When test scores started dropping they brought in remedial classes to no avail. They wouldn't listen to educators who understand child development. The Arts and FL classes are using math and language skills that stimulate other parts of the brain. Cursive handwriting stimulates the learning centers of the brain, but they got rid of that, too.

    Had no idea it's been removed from school. All through elementary school in the 70s i guess we were lucky to have music class every day of those first five years. With you choosing band or not in 5th. But every year of the four previous we played instruments and sang some great rock songs of the early 70s. Was the best part of my early education. And I played trumpet through HS. I can tell there isn't anyone teaching Civics anymore either. It was such a huge part of my education, it would've been boring without it.

That I kept up when we moved to Chicago- where they light the train tracks on fire to unfreeze them in winter. Soon I was going to Illinois state choir championships.
    Now I ake theatre and movie props.
    now and then I bust out a little opera or the Chichester Psalms (in Hebrew) and freak everyone out.

    I became a fan of John Lithgow upon watching him in, "The World According to Garp," and two years later he shows up in "Buckaroo Banzai" and "Footloose" in the same year - in one role an escaped madman alien and the other a preacher, and I was hooked. Everything he's in is improved by him being there.

      Lord (John) Whorfin.
      John Bigbooté however was flawlessly executed by none other than the also legendary, Christopher Lloyd

      Enjoyed him in Garp & Terms, but became a big fan with Buckaroo Banzai.

      Yes he was great. I fondly remember the movie from my youth. I thought that it was wonderful!
      The fact that the movie bombed at the box office shows how distorted life in America has become.
      I think it helps to explain why our politics is so weird and corrupt these days.
      Such a shame that America is crashing.
      On the bright side, America has had a wonderful 250 year run as a beacon for the world.
      But perhaps it is some other country’s turn to lead the world.

    Remember, imagination is what made America great! Ideas come from imagination. And what promotes imagination? The arts!

    His performance in Cliffhanger still makes me laugh sometimes cuz he's this villain, but I only see him as this nice, sweet man. When he gets angry I'm just like stawwwwppp 😂 Gene Hackman is the same for me.
