Ah, protecting innocents even then... is it any wonder that we'd follow him
anywhere?

Seriously, do you know if he played a Jewish Nazi (!) in an episode of Lou
Grant?  I saw it the other night, but missed the credits.

After "Firstborn", boasting that he was your babysitter may be something of
a claim to bravery... :-)

Yeah, he's the meanest looking person with blue eyes I've ever seen.
When I saw this flick last night, I kept thinking about how he would
babysit.  He got to kick the crap out of Albert Finney in "Shoot the Moon,"
too, (not that Finney didn't deserve it at that (or any other) point).
It's going to interesting to watch the way Hollywood deals with Weller
over the next year or too.  He seems to bring a lot of quiet intensity
to his parts.  Also, after seeing "Red Dawn" and "Firstborn," I think
I've come up for what PG13 means:
  "Well, we didn't really do anything to get an 'R,' rating, but you
really don't want your young kids to see this flick."
