I'm a sucker for Mamet and the actors who populate his creations.

He's been great as a character actor in tons of stuff, not always Mamet pinboy3niner Mar 2013 #4

I have Sundance in my Time Warner cable package, so I'm in hog heaven. But your chances are good that Netflix also has it. Good luck!

I met David Paymer more than 20 years ago when he and his family were visiting D.C. Paymer and his daughter were visiting Lincoln Memorial and struck up a conversation with me about a book I had. Totally nice guy, and I managed to avoid gushing about everything I'd seen him in.

Macy also is great here, as always, and I always get a kick out of Rebecca Pidgeon. She had a quirk in 'Spanish Prisoner' of repeating a line, memorably. She only did it once or twice, but it left an impression. Her character in 'State and Main' is wonderful!
