    Hey John, I am an aspiring actor, and I have always enjoyed watching your work, you have got to be the most talented actor in Hollywood. I first saw you on "Welcome Back, Kotter" and I laughed my butt off. Someday I hope to work along side you in any film, it would be a blast. Keep up the great work.
