He was at the Festival


I was recently at the Toronto Film Festival. I was having brunch at the Four Seasons, when I saw Todd Field at the next table eating. The only movie I ever saw him in, or remember him in, was the TV made Student Exchange. I remember loving that movie and always wondering what ever happened to the actor. I though he had somehow disappeared from the limelight or never made anything else. But, as I logged into imdb to find out what he had been up to, I was surprised that he's been in a lot of things, including directing! Wow... that's really wonderful. I've been loking forward to watching 'Little Children' ever since I saw the trailer at the theatre, and had no idea that it was Todd Field who directed it. It's great to see that Todd Field has had a great career and that he is still out there shinning :)

Yeah I remember he had a recurring role in the great TV show "Once & Again" - when I saw his name I was like "wtf?" because he looks so different! And then his biggest thing was the Oscar nomination for directing "In the Bedroom" a few years back.

Never judge things by their appearance. Even carpet bags. I'm sure I never do.
