So did he ever ask George Bailey for that job?

You mark my words, that smart young man is asking Jimmy Stewart for a job right now. RIP.

Check [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=426497) just a couple of weeks ago. **RealityChuck** nailed it on this one.

Vaya con Dios, Mr. Lane.

I had no idea he was still alive.

Funny that his first 5 roles was as a Hotel desk clerk and kind of set the tone to be “that guy” for his career…

I echo Sampiro - what a lengthy career and only 1 job in the last 12 years is a crime
