Jim was the finest actor I ever saw.
Guy was brilliant. Could do any role at a moment’s notice.
If he didn’t already know the script by heart, you could hand it to him, he’d flip through the pages, and was ready.
The problem was, he didn’t like the spotlight.
No, I’m not talking about the attention and fame and all that stuff.
He literally didn’t like the spotlight.
He and the lighting director fought all the time about it, and it took a clever arrangement of houselights to light the stage.
He also wore a lot of white suits.
