Writing about Die Hard the other day, the notion of writing the sort of 5-10,000 word rant that you've all grown accustomed to on the career of William Atherton crossed my mind. Fortunately, the AV Club just interviewed him! It's a great interview, and he comes off as an awesome guy with a lot of perspective.
Since the interview does a better job capturing him than I could, I'll leave it at this: the man was in Ghostbusters, two Die Hard movies, Steven Spielberg's first theatrical feature, and The Day of the Locust. AND . . . AND . . . he was on Lost. That's a career. And he's a WASP, he's my people.
Suffice to say, the subject of Bill Murray's famous utterance, "It's true, your honor, this man has no dick," had to do some serious acting to make that line make sense.
