ANDREW WITH JOHN LITHGOW FOR NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

Comedy Sketch with John Lithgow!

Sometimes really neat things happen really fast.  I just filmed a quick comedy sketch with John Lithgow as part of his introduction at the November 2, 2009 Lions Gala at the New York Public Library.  Mr. Lithgow could not have been nicer or more fun.  The entire production staff and crew was also composed of incredibly nice people.  It was all over much too soon, but everyone was very pleased with the end result, which played for an invited audience of literary and Hollywood icons at the Library’s major fundraising event for 2009.  I was delighted to be cast (thank you to my agent, Renée Glicker, and to producer Tim Miller!), and I had a great time.  I didn’t mention to Mr. Lithgow that he was playing opposite a fellow Harvard alumnus!  Tim Miller kindly invited my partner and me to come back that night and watch the clip being played out in front of the celebrity audience.  It was a blast, and the room was filled with a real who’s who of literary and film stars.
