00:32 particularly needed in these detached, technology-driven, and divisive times.

00:39 One word-for-word talking point I got from the people here.

00:49 I'll call him that. I'll go as far as to say he is the greatest American actor in our lifetime.

00:57 You cannot compare his career to anyone's, truthfully.

01:02 So it is our fortune to have him, and I personally am forever grateful.
