  • Philip Baker Hall is mentioned as a possible pick but set aside because he is 'Philip Baker Hall now'. — Sean Fennessey
  • James Rebhorn, who plays Dickie's dad, is named an all-time that guy, with both called all-timers. — Bill Simmons
  • His credits are listed: a film transcribed as 'incentive of a woman' (also with Hoffman), My Cousin Vinny and Basic Instinct back to back, Carlito's Way, White Squall, a psychiatrist in Basic Instinct, and the dad on Homeland.
  • Rebhorn is called the G.D. Spradlin of his generation, who would have played Senator Geary in the 70s; a that-guy pyramid is proposed with Joe Panelliano (as transcribed) as the overlord for his 80s run. — Bill Simmons
  • Rebhorn's character hating jazz, paying a player $100 to stop, is liked; his hatred of Europe is explained as post-war American snobbery, with a Brexit joke.

  • Lake Tahoe and Merle/Troy Donahue are raised without a clear verdict.
  • Spradlin is given Apex Mountain. — Brian Koppelman
  • Paramount is proposed but questioned by pointing to Top Gun and the Transformers movies.
