What irritates me the most about my dvd of that certain summer (1972) isn’t that I had to buy a bootleg dvd which is just a tv rip burned onto a disc with a mock up dvd art printed for the case. Though that is pretty annoying. It’s that whoever did the fake dvd art thought the homophobic asshole son was an important enough character that his face is on the spine of the case art, not Martin sheen or Hal holbrook’s

Hal Holbrook (1925-2021)

[doppleganger-rental]

R.I.P. to one hell of an actor. When I heard he passed I thought of these two films first. I think it’s because in both he just shows up and grabs the viewer in such a visceral way. He had tremendous presence. And those eyes. And, by the way, he was 82 when he made Into The Wild in 2007. He was still working up to 2017 at age 92! I wish I could have seen him on stage as Mark Twain. I have heard more than one actor refer to that performance as one of the greatest to ever occur on stage.

RIP Hal Holbrook 1925-2021

Actor Hal Holbrook has died at 95. He was excellent in countless movies, notably All the President's Men (he was Deep Throat), “The Crate” segment of Creepshow, a 2006 episode of The Sopranos, his Oscar-nominated turn in Into the Wild, and Lincoln’s advisor in Lincoln.

The link above is the obit from Hollywood Reporter.

Hal Holbrook, prolific actor who played Twain, dies at 95

RIP, Mr. Holbrook. I’m sure you and Mark Twain have much to discuss.

Just learned that Hal Holbrook (95) died. Wonderful actor!

His last great role was Preston Blair in Steven Spielberg's movie "Lincoln".

(The Blair House is now the president's guest house.)

So today, I found out that actor Hal Holbrook had died, so in memoriam, I’m posting this video of the theme song of my favorite movie that he was in.

Hal Holbrook 1925-2021

When you call up the image of Hal Holbrook’s face you see the essence of bland probity. It could be the face of liberal decency or the visage of what was once called the establishment, but if you were on trial and you saw that face presiding you would expect to get a fair shake. That face could be a hindrance for an actor relegating him to background scenes or down-credited supporting roles, and Holbrook had his greatest success hiding it behind a white wig and moustache in his career-spanning onstage performance as Mark Twain (over 2100 performances). But in the movies, it’s amazing what he could do with it.

I’m thinking of his Only Honest Trader in Wall Street (1987), the designated conscience of the movie but sadly realizing he’s as impotent as Jiminy Cricket; Francis Preston Blair the Presidential advisor to Lincoln (2012) sent to negotiate a cease-fire with the Confederacy and disgusted with having to “smile at and plead with traitors”; The widower who befriends a young inexperienced backpacker and seems to know he won’t see him again in “Into the Wild”; In comic turns as the Senator in Wild in the Streets (1968) - “We pour napalm on our own men. We do it because we’re drunk! Good old, patriotic drunk!” and Creepshow (1982) as the mild-mannered husband who hears about a monster in a crate and thinks it might be a good solution to his marital problems. The camera would pull in and we’d see disappointment, rage, regret or deviousness cross that imperturbable controlled face.

Mostly I think of his Deep Throat in All the President’s Men (1976), the source credited with keeping Woodward and Bernstein’s investigation going, a man whose cynicism, rage and paranoia (“It leads everywhere. Get out your notebook, there’s more. Your lives are in danger.”) lead him to help the reporters. You have to look hard at his bitter face to see the patriotism behind the self-regard of his disgust. But it’s there. Holbrook put it there. RIP.
