He could read your group chat out loud and suddenly it's a Pulitzer winner.

Dude got his big break on The Electric Company back in the early 70s.
At some point he just became America's collective grandpa and everyone agreed to it without a vote.
There's a whole corner of TikTok where people just clip him saying calm stuff over lo-fi beats and it racks up millions of views.
One viral comment summed it up: "this man has been old my entire life and I'm not ready for anything else." Real.
He did hard time in Shawshank and made us all feel hopeful about it.
