"Always be closing"

Why is Alan Alda so awesome? He's one of the best actors of his generation and he's still getting great work. Glengarry Glen Ross, The West Wing, The Aviator. He's gonna be one of those Hollywood legends that won't quit until his heart does. There's a certain thrill to be 4th row, ten feet away from Hawkeye and George Bluth, these people you've grown up and lived with you thought were so far away. They're right there. That's theatre. Theatre, to me, seems like one of the most untouched entertainment mediums. There's never a need to speed things up or youngify a cast to get a cast hotter. There's never a need to spell things out. These things happen if they should. It's all organic and mostly natural. Or maybe not. I probably don't know what I'm talking about.
