One of the best actors, Tom Wilkinson, died at 75. Too soon. You may not know his name but you

definitely know his films - brilliant in Michael Clayton and In The Bedroom. But most beloved for The Full Monty. Damn. I loved him I everything.

Let’s all dance to Hot Stuff in his honor.

and drama together.

His transformation from a vicious theater hater to a hammy theater lover was wonderful to watch.

I loved ALL his work, and “RocknRolla” is one of my all-time favorites

Safe travels, good sir, you will be missed
