Danny Glover.....

wvumountiefan — Sat, 24 Oct 2020 13:29:38 GMT

I saw him on a commercial and I was thinking I had not heard or seen him for a while. He is 74, and looks great! Does anyone else remember Danny and Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon movies from the 80’s?? 😊❤️❤️

OMG! When I saw the title of your post I thought OH NO! He didn't die, did he? Tell me it ain't so! Then I saw what you wrote and breathed a sigh of relief. He's one of my favorite actors.

I also thought he was much older than 74. I do not think he aged well at all.

We saw the commercial, too. Looked up his age and we were surprised he was only 74. Thought he looked older. But nice to see him anyway.

He played such a despicable character in "The Color Purple", I never liked him after I saw that movie. I feel the same way about John Cassavetes. When I was a teenager, he was one of my favorite actors. When I saw him in "Rosemary's Baby" I could no longer stand the sight of him because he played such a rat. I know they're only movie roles, but both those movies really made a bad impression on me. I suppose that is a testament to what great actors both of them are, or in Cassavetes' case, were.

It is amazing to see so many famous people we remember as young suddenly all old enough to be doing Medicare insurance commercials. I was taken aback when I saw Dorothy Hammill doing one.

Loved him as "Deets" in Lonesome Dove.

Yep, I remember him from those movies. As an actor I liked his acting and the characters he played. Once he decided to move into the political theater? Wish he would stick to acting. And 74? A youngster to me, haven't seen or heard him for a long time now.

I saw the commercial and like some of you, I thought he's really aged. From his appearance, I thought he was a lot older.

@Buffalogal47

If you really want to see him as a despicable character, watch Switchback from 1997. He plays a serial killer. Years ago, when I first saw it, I couldn't believe it was him! Seemed so out of character! Lol! 😂

Yes Dorothy Hamill....I was so young when she won....so long ago. I think she looks amazing....and in great physical shape too.

What I noticed most about Danny Glover in the medicare commercial was how thin....fragile he appeared. Guess we "shrink" some with age...as I always remember him in Lethal Weapon movies with Mel Gibson (who was so good looking back then LOL).

He is a fine looking man. I don't care if he's 74! Of course, I'm in my late 60's. 😃

I always enjoyed him, but agree that I don't like seeing actors admire playing awful characters. I won't watch those movies. I know it is just acting, but it upsets me.

If you love Westerns, Danny G. was a wonderful character in "Silverado".

First movie I saw Kevin Costner in...and fell in love with him.

Also, Kevin Kline and Scott Glenn. Jeff Goldblum played a character called "Slick."

It was an enjoyable movie.
