Stephen Tobolowsky Types Pretty

|

If you have a really good memory, you might recall Adam McGill’s profile of actor Stephen Tobolosky from 2005. Tobolowsky has a book coming out, and he’s been doing some writing. An essay of his showed up on the back page of the New York Times Magazine a couple weeks ago. Now an alert FrontBurnervian points us to this essay about his childhood on Slate. It’s good stuff, and I recommend it. But I’ll bring up one quibble. Tobolowsky writes: “There were only three Jewish families in Oak Cliff — the suburb we lived in about 25 miles from Dallas.” Gosh, it feels closer than that.
