Jack Lemon had the public image of being someone most everybody liked. Sort of like Gary Cooper, sort of like Guy Fieri.

I’ll bet somewhere, someone still harbors a silent, blazing fury about how Alec’s character treated Jack’s character in that movie. “It just wasn’t fair!!”

I never though of Jack Lemon like Gary Cooper, but he certainly brought a lot of pathos to his role in Glengary. The desperation.

I'm pretty sure that role was the inspiration for the character Gil on The Simpsons.
