Daniel Stern: TV's kiss of death....
Any time this guy shows up on your show you know you're in the death throes.
shareHe was pretty good background character. Funny that he is such an old man now. Hard to notice time creeping by so fast.
shareAgreed. He did a good job of playing a political hack, a spineless government bureaucrat, willing to do anything to pacify his boss (POTUS) and with no scientific background yet directing a science agency.
I didn't even recognize him until I came here and read this thread.
Neither did I. But as far as spineless, that is what our government does - and there is a postive value to that too in that it keeps things moving slow compared to the rapid senseless or dangerous changes someone like Trump wants to do. We are going too slow now, but that is because of the influence of corporations who do not want to be regulated and want to own the government, the public and all US resources.
shareI suppose we could view slowness as a positive value in some areas. Unfortunately, Trump has turned slowness to his advantage and now uses delays as a way of avoiding justice for his crimes.
If he gets re-elected, he will reinstate Schedule F and purge any civil servant who fails to pledge loyalty to his orangeness.
