Wait a second–THE Jim Beaver? I recall making it a point to catch your name after seeing (imdb-ing you), well, SOMETHING (probably “X-Files”) because I noticed you didn’t suck

Well, he made some films when he was younger…

You mean like “Silkwood?” “Turner and Hooch?” Until this summer I’d managed to completely avoid the oeuvre of Ms Streep and I have enough slobbery dogs at home to watch another on TV. Considering my wife’s even more limited tastes our Mr Beaver might just as well not existed before he was on the X-Files.
