My Take
Gerry Bamman is the embodiment of the face you instantly recognize but can't always name. A Kansas-born, NYU-trained actor and playwright, he is forever Uncle Frank from Home Alone, the stingy, sneering relative he played so well you couldn't quite bring yourself to hate him. He never carried a film as a lead, but supporting players like him are exactly what give a story its backbone. Across television and theater he built a long, steady craftsman's career. As someone who grew up seeing that face every Christmas, I feel a real, lasting gratitude toward him.
