JOHN LITHGOW @ LOEB DRAMA CENTER

johnlthgow

You probably know John Lithgow as one of two different aliens, or maybe that old guy from the 10-minute YouTube loop where he just mutters expletives at a dinner table. That’s really quite unfortunate, seeing as this veteran thespian has netted nominations and wins for practically every acting award they’ve ever mint—Holy Shit! He was the bad guy from Cliffhanger! Aw, man, we totally forgot about that!

No Stallone-related questions at the Q&A please.
