Last night I happened to catch the movie
Ordinary People on TV. I had not seen in for many years and I had forgotten that it was such a gripping and emotional film. It's mind blowing that it was the first movie Robert Redford ever directed, as it has the skillful eye of someone much more seasoned. The entire cast of the movie is amazing, but the performance that you just can't take your eyes off of is
Timothy Hutton. Truth be told, he really deserved the Best Actor Oscar that year, not Best Supporting, but I'm sure he didn't complain. I was able to find the
original trailer for the movie on You Tube. Another movie I love that he starred in a few years back is
Beautiful Girls. If you haven't ever seen it, go rent it. I also recently saw
this promo for a new NBC show that Timothy Hutton will be starring in this season called
Kidnapped. I will admit that I do still find
Timothy Hutton (click for a recent picture) cute in that boyishly handsome way I like, but that isn't why I think he is an extraordinary actor.
