Exit, Stage Left, Grasping Cane; Enter, Sprinting

NYTimes.com: During the first half of “Smokefall,” a critically acclaimed new play at the Goodman Theater here, the actor Mike Nussbaum portrays a 77-year-old who is so wobbly that he needs help walking down a staircase. Later, the character is shown in his 50s, with Mr. Nussbaum bounding up those steps like a sprinter.

This is the coolest man I have ever heard of. Acting at 90 years old! I can't believe he is able to handle acting a 50 year old man while being in his age and health. I mean, I'm sure he's healthy enough since he is keeping up his acting career, but still, he's 90! I am also a big fan of Field of Dreams, and I'm very happy for him that he has been able to pick up his acting career again after taking care of his family for awhile.
