That fact alone boggles the
mind — how such a quirky and
modestly conceived film could
achieve such a lofty position in
the pantheon of popular culture. What really strikes me,
though, as I look down the row
at the faces of my fellow actors, is how quickly the time
has passed. Has it really been
twenty-five years? A quarter
century? The passing of time is
most critically noted by those
who are missing, the great Pe-

ter Falk and that gentle mountain of a man, Andre the Giant.
But to counter that sadness is
the camaraderie of being back
with those who are here tonight
and who stood alongside me
so many years ago: Rob Reiner,
Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, Wallace Shawn, Chris Sarandon,
and Mandy Patinkin, not to
mention Robin Wright, looking as lovely as she did the day
I first laid eyes on her so many
years ago.
