I would far, far prefer to resemble the visiage of Boris Karloff [William Henry Pratt] than that of John Kerry. Anyday.
A few years back, I had the opportunity to appear in a couple of local theater group stage productions, including William Inge's Bus Stop in which I had the part of Carl, the cranky bus driver, and Arsenic and Old Lace in which I had the role of quirky *Cousin [*I must help Ferdinand Lessips finish the Panama Canal!*]Teddy* Theodore Brewster. But the part I really hungered for was that of menacing Jonathan Brewster, played by Raymond Massey in the 1944 film version of Joseph Kesselring's screenplay, who delivered the line that only Karloff could get away with:
I had to kill him...he said I looked like Boris Karloff
