I had the honor and privilege of working alongside Christopher Plummer in the film, Dragnet. As it happens, there is a lot of “hurry-up and wait” in the movie-making business. It was a chilly night in Los Angeles and Christopher Plummer and yours truly stood on the sidelines waiting for the director to shout “Action!” While we were killing time, I told the consummate actor how much I enjoyed his work. I also mentioned that my day job (night job?) was doing standup comedy. He was kind and supportive and told me how much he enjoyed acting in comedies and working with Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks. Rest in Peace Christopher Plummer.
