One of those familiar faces on TV and in movies, but also an Oscar and Tony Award-nominated actor as well.

    No... I recognize him... the Conan flicks:)

    You're right Danny, he does have one of those "recognizable" faces
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Here's a photo and a bio. I read that right before his passing, he was cast as the voice of ninja sensei Splinter, the giant mutagen-grown rat in a CGI updating of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

    He did a lot of guest appearances on TV shows in the 60's and 70's and he was in one of my favorite movies "Tucker the Man and his Dream". I was aware of his work and sad to here of his passing, he was a very good actor.
