He has had many memorable supporting roles during his 50+ year film career-from Max in The Muppet Movie and stuttering defense attorney John Gibbons in My Cousin Vinny to Gurgle in Finding Nemo and William Giles in Oz-and has worked with such directors as Orson Welles, Steven Spielberg, Billy Wilder, Alan Pakula, Otto Preminger, Barbra Streisand, and Mike Nichols, to name just a few.

Saturday, September 21, at 12:00 noon Starring Austin Pendleton SIMON USA, 1980, Marshall Brickman Austin Pendleton (see next blurb) has one of his rare lead movie roles in this largely forgotten satirical comedy co-written and directed by the Oscar-winning co-writer of Woody Allen's Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Sleeper. It's an inventive and peculiar movie in which a group of mischievous, nutzoid think-tank scientists convinces a psychology professor (Alan Arkin) that he is an extraterrestrial being. Soon the rest of the world also believes it. With Madeline Kahn, William Finley, Wallace Shawn, Adolph Green, and Fred Gwynne. DVD. 97 min.
