Hey Dan. Thanks for the information on Jack Kruschen. I have been looking for Oscar nominated thespians who do not have an UMR page. Thus Kruschen, Rupert Crosse and others have gotten pages. Interesting that Mr. Kruschen has a spot in the Top 100. I always thought he looked like Captain Kangaroo when I was younger. I like how you included AA by their names. Good stuff as always.
