13. I saw him speak at my college reunion 20 years ago

Mon Feb 16, 2026, 01:52 PM

Yesterday

I remember several things he spoke about. Remarkable man and actor.

On edit: he was in that Twilight Zone about the dollhouse which came to life. Also the cab driver in Bullitt, and as recently as the Jack Reacher film with Tom Cruise. Memorable.
