So I was talking to my dad about the movie Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone.

We were then talking about John Lithgow and my dad asked if he was still alive or dead. So we just looked them up on Wikipedia and it just so happens coincidentally that we find out his birthday was October 19th, 1945.

It's his birthday today. So happy birthday to a great actor.

 

[John Marston]

A great actor who stood the test of time.

I love him in "Terms of endearment", "Raising Cain", "Dexter" and of course as Roberta in "The world according to Garp"!

I remember the World According to GARP when I was a little kid when that came out.

By the way, if it was you, thank you for the gaf gold. If it was someone else, thank you as well.

I've watched many of his films, but the series 3rd Rock from the Sun is my favourite.

 

[Amory]

Happy Birthday John!!

 

[PumpkinPie]

He plays a great villain.

 

[Shizumapower]

Lithgow is great.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

He plays a great villain.

He really does but to be honest, the first role I remember seeing him in was Twilight Zone The movie.

He was in the segment about the airplane and the gremlin. He filled in for the original role played by William Shatner. I actually enjoyed the remake more than the original in this case. I also enjoyed the remake of the little boy who could wish for things. That segment was beyond creepy.

 

[Rival]

He was really good in The Old Man with Jeff Bridges.

 

[synchronicity]

Such a versatile actor.

 

[BennyBlanco]

This guy’s season on Dexter was the shit

 

[joedan]

Played a great Churchill in The Crown. Plus loved Third Rock from the Sun.

 

[JayK47]

He was great in 3rd Rock from the Sun.

 

[AlteredForms]

"The Muffin Man!"
"She's married to the Muffin Man?!"

He was so fucking great in dexter season 4 and that comedy where he is an alien on heart.

When you can act absolute silliness and a cold blood killer you know you are a great actor.
