Character Actor Tributes on Huffington Post: Beth Grant

Posted on March 19, 2013 at 3:53 pm

I’m a huge fan of character actors and always try to feature them in my reviews.  I highly recommend the documentary shown on showtime about male character actors called “That Guy….Who Was In That Thing.”  So I was really glad to see that Huffington Post is doing a new series on those character actors, starting with Beth Grant.  I had the pleasure of meeting her once and could not resist reciting one of my favorite of her movie lines back to her, from “Donnie Darko:” “Sometimes I question your commitment to Sparkle Motion.”  Despite that, she was extremely kind and gracious.

Here’s a brief film I made of her dancing at the Critic’s Choice Awards.
