I mean, he's 5'10" with hazel, slightly sad eyes and a strong jaw.
His trim muscular physique and zoot suit in the early scenes remind
one of James Dean or Montgomery Clift, and his somewhat larger gestalt
and more modest wardrobe in the later years, with a receding hairline
but good smile and a firm handshake, make him somewhat similar in
appearance to Lou Grant.  His voice is calm most of the time, and even
when he's kvetching, not unkind...
