He came by the Today Show window on Thursday. I am a big fan of Gordon Jump, and a big fan of character actors. Actors and actresses whose faces you know, but you can't place their names. Everyone lit up, and ran to the window to check him out. The guy does his best work in thirty second chunks, but he told me he still makes a good living.
Character actors are the backbone of the acting industry.
They're not even supporting actors. You know 'em when you see them. The people who pop up week after week on episodic television. If they're lucky, they get a recurring role in a sitcom or a drama. I love 'em.
