When he recovered, the series returned to production
Synopsis
A retired CIA agent is haunted by both the agency he once worked for and his own nightmares when an unknown man suddenly visits him after nearly three decades. Production was suspended in March 2020 due to government restrictions. During that time, Jeff Bridges was diagnosed and then treated for non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Bridges called the return a comeback after a « long weekend. » podcast in July 2022.
Indeed, he is an old man
Appeared at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards (2024). In six months, Jeff Bridges will be 73 years old. His character makes those grunting noises from the effort of waking up in the morning, and you also hear the very occasional pee in the middle of the night. From Peter Bogdanovich’s ground-breaking "The Last Slide Show," Bridges went on to build an enviable career of numerous carefully crafted roles, each truly unique and most of them more memorable than the last.
John Lithgow turns 77 in four months
He was finally awarded the long-awaited Oscar for Best Actor for the movie « Crazy Heart ». a few years ago and then last year we almost lost him to CoVID-19. But he’s back as a battered ex-spy, and he’s a perfect fit for this latest complex installment. Even by the narrowest definitions, an old man.
You’re never quite sure about a Lithgow character, and this is no exception
Is he the obvious villain of this story, or could he actually be the hero? The supporting roles of longtime pros like Amy Brenneman and Joel Gray are also well-written and, of course, superbly performed. But make no mistake: this miniseries belongs entirely to the one and only Jeff Bridges. And by extension to all of us who are his longtime fans more than half a century later.
Not to be missed
