I thought he was in Lonesome Dove.

I loved him as Moze in Places in the Heart (love that movie!).

He's such a cutie pie!

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.

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! 😂

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.

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.
