I couldn't believe this was #myronmccormick as Larry Slade. I kept feeling like #jamesbroderick (also in the production) had time-traveled into the role of Slade. It was uncanny...but then what I suppose I'm saying is that Broderick absorbed something of McCormick's Slade from this and I see it in his later work.
