Al Strobel


I've had the good fortune to know some first rate actors and see them at their best. Tonight I watched a rerun of an old Twin Peaks episode and remembered Al Strobel (who plays the mysterious one-armed man), a Eugene actor when I was in grad. school. Al gave two performances I'll never forget: as the father in Pinter's Homecoming and as Richard III. Those were almost 40 years ago.

This is the first day without obligations (after deciding to skip my piano lesson), so I could pamper myself, and it may be paying off.
