No disrespect meant


But I can never believe him as a straight man. He comes off very gay no matter what he is in. I once saw him in a production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Glenda Jackson as Martha. Neither were very good and Glenda Jackson in my opinion is one of the greatest actresses. I love this play. I know every line by heart , George, Martha Nic. and Honey. Lithgow did not cut it for me as a straight man but neither did Glenda Jackson as a straight woman. She came off far too butch for Martha.I hear she might be returning to acting again. Hope so.

He wasn't gay in Cliffhanger

Maybe it doesn't mean much but he has been married for over 50 years (to two wives, from '66 to 80 and from 81 to present).

So there you have it.
