This is the first Monday since learning of his passing (Monday being my night for memorials, consistent with my "shtick"), and so it is the first chance I have to reflect on the actor's passing from pneumonia last week.
True, I knew him from Who Framed Roger Rabbit ... but I think my fondness for him really stems from his role in Mermaids (naturally, what with my healthy obsession with all things Cher). Or maybe it's just that I think he has a very Neidermyer-esque face, and that, as I get older, he could be my mid to late life doppelganger.
Either way, to the man who stood up to Mrs. Flax and told her that when she was wrong ... she was sooooo wrong, you will be missed.
