We caught up with aging hair-deprived character player (‘sometime’ character player ) at a stationery store where he was returning a packet of post-its he’d bought. ‘They’re double-sticky, and I prefer the normal sticky,” said the odd, unemployed wreck. We wondered what was up. ‘There’s talk of me doing a play reading next week, in a friend’s living room,” said the Cmmdr. The role? “Well,” muttered the freak, ‘it’s just the stage directions.” Apparently he’s not first choice either, but he’s on call if needed. In the pipeline? ‘There’s gonna be a re-run of a JAG I did,” he said, almost breaking out in a sob. “On Spike,” he added, as if this gave heft to the pathetic event of a small guest spot on a rerun of a long-gone show on a some inconsequential channel. Anything else we asked? ‘No,’ came the muted reply.
