Yes, I knew Mr. Cullum was a Tennessean (hope I got that right!) In real life, he speaks with a Southern acccent. He is a trained Shakespearean actor who was in Richard Burton’s famous version of “Hamlet.” Like a lot of hardworking Broadway actors (as opposed to Hollywood jerks), he’s too busy perfecting his art to go around speaking out on political subjects.
I recently saw him playing Pangloss in “Candide,” and he’s currently performing Shakespeare in the Park here in NYC. And he couldn’t be all that young anymore!!
Born March 2, 1930, says Wikipedia, so he’s 81! Clean living, or something. March 2 is also Texas Independence Day, fwiw.
Howard Caine (Lewis Morris of New York) was also a Tennesseean.
