My wife watched a movie the other night where he played the role (I think) of a MLB scout. The pic in the OP may be from that movie. I said “self, that dude is getting OLD”.

We all age. It sucks.

No he didn't. It took him over 80 years to look like that.

He had a little more color and a beard 10 years ago.

Check out a film he was in by Michael Mann , came out in 1983. The Keep is the name of it.

I always thought he was age appropriate and physically fit enough tough guy to be Mr Clark in the Tim Clancy movies.

View Quote

From the Oxford Language Dictionary:
no great shakes
- phrase of shake -
INFORMAL
not very good or significant.
"it is no great shakes as a piece of cinema"

I may have erred using "...weren't any..." in place of "...no...", but hopefully the pedantic here will forgive me

IMO, he should have played Rambo. "First Blood" would have been a serious movie, as opposed to a Sly Stallone, guilty pleasure, cartoon.

I saw that when it came out in the dollar theater. Weird movie. Had Tangerine Dream as the soundtrack, so the music was excellent.

Don't mean to derail the thread, but you're not giving First Blood the credit it deserves are you? It was one of the first films to deal with PTSD, and the difficulty combat veterans have reintegrating back to civilian life. The second and third installments were jokes.

This reminds me of a typical Christopher Lloyd routine playing Ignatowski in Taxi; Holds up the photo, and asks everybody gathered "Does anybody know who this is?... Bobbie Wheeler replies "NO Jim. Who is it?" Jim replies " I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!" And he walks away.

Same.

Also realized how old and frail Patrick Stewart is finally looking, when I watched Multiverse of Madness.

That dude seemed to have stopped aging between about 35-75, but Father Time catches up to all of us.
