Inside the Actor's Studio
I would like to highlight some of my favorite roles by the actor's actor, Reginald VelJohnson...
On May 25th, 1952, in the town of Burnley near Gary Indiana, Reginald VelJohnson was born. His parents, Denis and Margery, soon moved with Reginald and his sister Jean to the steel mills of Youngstown Ohio. It was in this small town that young Reginald rode out The Nam. He soon developed a fascination with acting and the theater, which was encouraged by his parents. They would all bring him to plays, those by William Shakespeare, in particular. The amateur school productions fostered Reginald's growing passion for theatre. Reginald soon began attending Stratford-upon-Avon theater festivals, where he saw the greats perform: Laurence Olivier, Wendy Hiller, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson and Paul Robeson. He continued his education in English Drama, but soon it fell by the wayside as he concentrated more and more on only obtaining roles as Doctors and Cops.

I like Sgt. Al Powell the best, Die Hard I. He memorized the ingredients of a twinkie.
My favorite is the one where he is 4 days away from retirement and is getting too old for this shit.
Danny Glover news?!?
