Charlie Hume, 'Lou Grant'. Justice Crouch, 'The West Wing'.....

Personally, my connection to him is from a TV movie in 1977, 'The Deadliest Season'. I was one of the hordes shipped over from UConn's drama department to be hockey fans for all of the game scenes.

It's a movie that puts me one step away from Kevin Bacon.

But his work for Smucker's over the years will forever echo in my mind. I can't summon the voices of departed family, but I'll always hear Mason Adams.

I know. I'm a sad case.....

BCnU!
