My Take
Henry Gibson had one of those careers that quietly touched a surprising amount of pop culture. Born James Bateman, he made his name reciting absurd poems on Laugh-In, then voiced Wilbur in Charlotte's Web, and gave a genuinely sharp turn as Haven Hamilton in Altman's Nashville. That last credit is what wins me over. Going from sketch-comedy oddball to a layered Altman performance shows real range, and being a published poet himself adds a nice wrinkle to the comic persona. I like actors who refuse to stay in one lane. Gibson clearly didn't, and his long run of memorable character work is the proof.
