I’m not wishing the man any ill-will but that’s a lot of determination to make it to 88! I’m sure during his lifetime he’s seen some serious shit like One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, the Back to the Future trilogy, Taxi, Clue, first two Addams Family movies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock , the Nobody movies and the 1994 remake of Angels in the Outfield.
But one of his best roles is as Jimmy in the 1993 ensemble comedy-drama Twenty Bucks. The movie centers around a $20 bill that changes ownership over the course of a few days in unspecified city as it interwines with many people’s lives. Lloyd plays a conman and armed robber who “mentors” a petty criminal, Frank (Steve Buscemi). But it becomes apparent he has ulterior motives.
The movie also stars Shohreh Aghdashloo, Dianne Baker, Brendan Fraser, Matt Frewer, Spaulding Gray, Linda Hunt, Gladys Knight, William H. Macy, Elisabeth Shue and David Schwimmer among others.
With work on TV, in movies, on the stage and even in video games since 1961, he doesn’t seem to be showing any signs that he will slow down. (Sorry. I had to.)
What’s your favorite role of his? Please comment.
