Wesley Snipes

Saw him in a little movie tonite with unknowns. The Recall. 2017. Seems hollywood has forsaken him. His character is an abducted by aliens natch and he talks about how these visitors show up every at one point 250,000 years to tweek their creation.

He's only 59. He sounds a bit like Mr. T.

Well, there ya go.

A black Leading Man, is supposed to be VIRILE. Not looking like Uncle Ben.

It's too bad...but, forty years ago, I remember columnist Mike Royko commenting on one of the silent-movie starlets who was in an Academy Award presentation...somehow she was to get a special Lifetime Achievement award. Wish I could remember who it was.

I didn't see it, but Royko did. She looked frail and bent, and OLD. Royko, who himself was aging fast, pointed that exactly out. His hair was turning grey. He was getting fatter. Say it together everyone! O-L-D, OLD! See? Your teeth won't fall out.

Now it's happening to actors who were in high school when Royko wrote that.

Life moves on.
