Playing against type

Non-anxious presence.

Some people live and exude the concept. Others never can get there.

Some actors and actresses play the role of a non-anxious presence in every performance. Some play the role on occasions. And sometimes . . .

This morning starts with a viewing of Man on Fire. An intense movie. A strong story. Denzel Washington–magnificent as usual. Dakota Fanning–incredible.

But my friend Bridgett identified the most amazing aspect of the movie:

Christopher Walken – Christopher Walken! – plays the non-anxious presence – plays a bit against type – plays extremely well.

See you along the Trail.
