The author said exactly what I was thinking: this man pulled off a brilliant performance with absolutely ZERO dialogue. There were scenes in which he made not one move - not a blink, not a grimace, NOTHING. Yet the look in his eyes changed drastically as "Dr. Gallagher" spoke to him. It was quite breathtaking.

I met the man, completely by accident, a couple of years ago. I'm grateful for our short conversation, in which he told me that peace is ours for the taking. I needed to hear that and will always remember it.

While I had respect for the man's talent at the time, last night's TV episode cranked it up several notches, and I'm quite sure I would have felt the same if David Carradine were still with us.
