Life Imitates Lileks
On Saturday, James Lileks watched the movie "Twelve Angry Men." Today, I watched the same movie in a training class at work (yes, it's not a bad way to spend a day "working").
The similarities did not end there. For while watching the film, I noticed that one of the characters bore a striking resemblance to Mr. Lileks.
Glasses wearing, perpetually balding, slender of stature actor John Fiedler portraying Juror #2 in "Twelve Angry Men" and...
...glasses wearing, perpetually balding, slender of stature writer James Lileks portraying himself in a tryout for a TV show?
Thankfully, the resemblance does not extend to their vocal stylings. Lileks has the pipes. Fiedler was the voice of Piglet.
