Here he is! These are better links with pictures. Actually, I'd forgotten just how many films and stuff he's done.

Incidentally, my dad was named John, after his uncle John Rossiter, who was Leonard Rossiter's father.

Great links, Shells! OF COURSE we remember him from The Pink Panther! He was TERRIFIC. Those were great flicks.

Thanks for sharing.

I just came across this question and I have a claim to fame. When I was little, I grew up in LA in a small beach town called Manhattan Beach. My dad used to go to this small, dark video store to find videos for myself and my 3 sisters. This guy behind the counter was always creepy, but used to recommend really good family movies. Turns out that guy behind the counter turned out to be Quentin Tarantino, who made Pulp Fiction. Now that I live in NYC, I have a lot of famous people. I spoke with Sarah Jessica Parker and Mathew Broderick on the subway and have run into a lot of other ones. Some of them I don't even recognize on the street.

I had a friend who interned at the Roundabout in NY for a season and when he came back he was the biggest name dropper. SJP and Matthew Broderick were two of the many, many people he had drinks with (according to him). I finally asked him when he was going to get over this stage!

Also, I forgot to mention I met Salman Rushdie... I helped run a book signing he did at Wash U.

Yeah, I have to say that I was definately a name dropper when I first moved to the city, but after a while, all the people you see just seem like normal people. I think that SJP and Mathew Broderick were so exciting to see because she was pregnant, on the subway, and Sex and the City was one of my favorite shows. But then again, it still sounds like I am name dropping!

It's ok though, cause this is a *thread* about name dropping. So it's all kosher here.
