Hollywood star promotes Ada

[Jeffrey Carter]

I just saw the film version of "Of Mice and Men", directed by Gary
Sinise and starring Sinise and John Malkovich. One of the major actors
was Richard Riehle.

In my salad days I did peform bit parts in community theater, usually
cast as a villain for some odd reason.    However, the Richard Riehle
in the movie version of Steinbeck's great novelette is another person
entirely.   This is too bad since I could have played that part quite
well.  However, Hollywood has never called me about it.

As most of you know, I do spend a lot of my life in the classroom
teaching Ada for industry and academia.   When asked what I do
for a living, I often respond, "Performance art."   Even so, the other
Richard Riehle, not remotely related to me, is getting all the money
and billing for his performances.  He also gets to romance a few
glamorous Hollywood women on screen.  I continue to squeak by on the
meagre income I get for my performaces to a dozen or some programmers
at a time, and my fantasy romance is with a long dead mathematician named
Ada.
