From one extreme to the other.
I know I’ve told you I love Grace and Frankie starring Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston. In the show, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston were married to the Lily & Jane, had an affair for years and now they are out and married to each other.
Sam Waterston’s character, Sol, the way he is playing him, he’s flamboyant, a little over the top. The character could have been seen, pre-coming out, by friends and family, as goofy, silly, forgetful and bumbling. Since coming out, he’s all that, but add the flamboyance to it, and there you have it.
Sometimes you forget what his characters were like before this role. I am watching an episode of Law & Order and Jack McCoy is a hard arse! He is a strong, serious, non-flinching prosecutor, interesting to see him in a role like the latest.
How about this…he’s still on Law & Order while he’s in Frankie & Grace. Now, that’s talent! I think I want to see more roles!
