Ohlook

The death of actor Ben Gazzara today. He always seemed way too cool on that NBC show Run for your Life (click to see the open and the premise “…squeeze 30 years of living into one..or two..”).

It was always a treat to see him — in a Cassavetes’ film, popping up in The Big Lebowski. Tight, a bit scary, in control.

Darn.
