John Lithgow Movies & TV Shows List | Rotten Tomatoes | Rotten Tomatoes
Academy Award-nominated American film and TV actor John Lithgow gained notoriety with his roles in "The World According to Garp" (1982), "Terms of Endearment" (1983), "3rd Rock from the Sun" (NBC, 1996-2001), and "Dexter" (Showtime, 2006-2013).
Can we just take a moment to appreciate John Lithgow?
First thing I saw him in was Cliffhanger. So I assumed he was always angry and evil. Then I watched Harry and the Hendersons and was waiting for him to kill Harry. Lithgow is one of my favourite "yep" actors. If he's in something I'll immediately add it to my list. He's so consistent in delivering the goods I'm always willing to bet my time on him. He's also endlessly watchable, from 3rd Rock to Raising Cain. I could watch him read the phone book. More on reddit.com
