GOSSIP:
  • Lithgow is among other celebs who are bringing their boldface names to a world long dominated by unknowns: the children's book industry – they pair up with publishers to do interviews and attend book signings and in return they conquer a new marquee, the cover of a kid's book. (November 12, 2002)
  • A distinguished actor of stage, television, and movies who is at home playing everything from menacing villains, big-hearted transsexuals, and loopy aliens, John Lithgow is also a composer and performer of children's songs, a Harvard graduate, a talented painter, and a devoted husband and father: in short, he is a true Renaissance man.
  • Graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University (1967)
  • Was named a Fulbright scholar
  • Hosted the Welcoming Reception for UCLA's new Chancellor Carnesale
  • Claims that his most difficult performance was in TWILIGHT ZONE because he had to portray fear of the monster, although he couldn't really see it.
  • Was considered for the role of Hannibal Lector in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
  • He almost never blinks during this film (RICOCHET-1991)
  • Played the part of Harry Zel, a movie agent that Harris contacts after being fired. The part was cut, but there are still references to his character in L.A. STORY (1991): during the freeway shoot-out, and in the California Cuisine luncheon.
