    The guy in the photo was raised by black sharecroppers, a target of an assassination, a multimillionaire inventor/carnival worker, and lost it all only to finally find his rhythm after being homeless and destitute.

    You’d be gray haired too.

        My greatest comedies of all time:

        1. Airplane

        2. Naked Gun

        3. Blazing Saddles

        4. The Jerk

        Any of those 4, and you will cry laughing.

        Older age isn’t necessarily a negative factor in leadership, but I know what you’re saying. However, I can’t deal with the fact that I’m 43 and don’t feel like a grown up, so does that mean our Prime Minister feels the same way about himself? I can’t square that circle, y’know?

    I see two rather young looking faces framed by grey or white hair (I’m a big fan of natural greying) and with terrible outfits that make them look much older. So to me it seems that finally we have a better fashion.

        I wonder if Dawson Casting is quite right though. I’m thinking here of an actor playing a man in his mid 20s, but looking much older. Whether he was or not, I’m not sure, but flipping through Wikipedia’s transcripts of the opening narrations of the first season episodes, I see:

        E21 has Vera Miles playing a 25 year old when she’s 30.

        E31 has George Grizzard playing someone in his “youthful 20s” when he’s about 32 and looks it.

        Seems similar, but also different: older actors playing younger people.
