Westgrand, if he is who I’m thinking doesn’t he bear a resemblance to Richard Nixon? I just loved “24” & I think Itzin was on 2 seasons ?? It’s been so long!

Happy Birthday, to:
Clint Howard [Clinton Engle Howard; actor; Jonson Ritter in the 'Austin Powers' films] -
Yes Moe, it has been noted that Gregory Itzin drew inspiration for his character from Richard Nixon.
I think he joined the cast during season 4, and then left after four episodes in season 6, but has made further appearances.
Also received an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Charlotte Bronte [1816-1855; novelist; 'Jane Eyre'] -
I can't believe Elaine May is still with us.....I know Mike Nichols has passed...but she is extremely talented & funny
Elaine May is now 89 years, Moe, and probably still working - she won Tony Award in 2018, for Best Actress In A Play, on Broadway...and was working on another project in 2019.....
I also neglected to look at another......Clint Howard. Brother of Ron [[I'm assuming,
star of his own series "Gentle Ben" & in "Apollo 13".
Yes, Clint is the younger brother of Ron - and has appeared in many of the films directed by Ron....
Ron Howard has/had a habit of casting family members in his films. His mother Jean played the mother of Jim Lovell in Apollo 13 as well as Clint being in the film.
