Great interview with one of my favorite character actors and famous Bills fans, William/Bill Fichtner.

 

Especially love the intetview’s ending when he raced off to watch the Bills game!

Living proof that alums of SUNY Brockport can be amazingly successful.   I am doing my part to dispel the notion.   Go Golden Eagles!

I loved him in Drowning Mona. One of my favorite "movies that time forgot".

'09.   Great place to get an education and not feel overwhelmed by a giant campus.  Took a drive through the other day and saw Fitchner's face on a giant banner.   To quote my teenage son.   "That dude went here?"

I almost hit him with my car as a teenager downtown before LOL true story.  Night before a season opener, near all the bars (I wasnt there for that), kept creeping up in my car as the white line was behind these 2 buildings... parked cars on side of road and busy traffic, very tricky to see, busy traffic.  I krpt creeping up and was tunnel visioned on an opening.

 

Getting ready to hit the gas and outta the corner of my eye I see something. Stomp the brake! A VERY ANNOYED FAMILIAR LOOKING FACE CROSSES IN FRONT HAHA

 

I yelled, "I ALMOST HIT THE 'PRISON BREAK GUY!'"

 

MY BAD WILLIAM! I'M NOW MUCH MORE AWARE WHEN CREEPING FORWARD IN THOSE SCENARIOS

Class of 75.  Lived at Bramley Hall and stage 16, though it is no longer exists.

[Ray Finkel]

A guy who never forgot where he came from.  Goes back to Maryvale when he come back to town and speaks to the drama club.  A Buffalo guy through and through.

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

I saw him at the kornerstone bakery in EA one of the last times i was there.

Seems like you and @longtimebillsfan were at Brockport at the same time.
