SOOO happy for Richard Jenkins (The Visitor). He did a great job in this movie. I think he is a good actor whose not seen very much. I loved the movie. I’m also partial because he lives in little old Rhode Island (like me!)and once acted at and ran (as Artistic Director) our main local theatre: Trinity Repertory Company.
Also, Viola Davis (Doubt) is from Rhode Island and acted at Trinity Rep at least once.
Go Little Rhody!
Hey taxgirl wasn’t Michele from Big Brother from RI too?
Um, Er, Ah – Yes Michele was from RI. I tried block that from my mind! Thanks for bringing it back – not that Joel McHale from the Soup doesn’t regularly play the clip with Michele and Jace to torture me too!
Plus there is Richard Hatch. Who is both a reality show star AND a tax cheat.
We do have our ups and downs here.
