1. I've always liked him a lot!

Bravo. And speaking as another old person, it's good to see an 80-year-old who's still doing great work instead of alternating between unscheduled naps and temper tantrums.

3. I always enjoy his work

Even when he's playing a baddie, he does it SO well.

6. He's truly gifted

2. Great actor, great career. But a shame

he will spend the remaining days of his career putting more money into the pockets of an anti-trans bigot.

4. John Lithgow is a lifelong Democrat.

I don't think he stands by his remarks regarding Rowlings. I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

5. Your post makes no sense.

7. Bravo Mr. Lithgow

Very happy to see John Lithgow win this Tony. I saw him in this play when in London in 2024. He and his fellow castmates were simply brilliant. I did not get to see this in NYC this season but I just knew he had a great opportunity to be recognized for this award.

8. John Lithgow? The TERF apologist?

12. Seriously

The praise on this thread for his pro Rowling, anti trans stuff is disappointing.

10. Big John Lithgow fan.

Tremendous talent, and He gets the real life stuff right, too.
