A woman came up to me in the street yesterday and said I looked like "Jack Gilford...like a handsome version of Jack Gilford." My first reaction was to step in front of an oncoming bus. Then I looked him up and realized I do look like him. Which is not how imagined growing older.
But you know, he had kind eyes. And he was a great character actor. And basically, that's what I am in my own line of work. So,I'm adjusting to it. People used to say I looked like Ron Liebman, a great actor who sadly died yesterday. I guess my only real ambition at this point...
...is that people would start to say I looked like people who were still alive. Yes, I would like to look like a living person...for some time to come.
