Message: [QUOTE="ZooCougar, post: 4288514, member: 296"] So it just dawned on me that the actor who plays Jack McKinney in Winning Time is none other than Tracy Letts. Letts really caught my attention in Ford vs. Ferraris where he played Henry Ford II and pretty much stole every scene. The scene where he starts crying in the GT40 is just aces. Anyways. In Winning Time both Letts and Jason Clarke have blown me away. Jerry West and Jack McKinney are really interesting and these actors did these guys justice and then some. As for the show, I’m not a basketball guy but the subject matter is great. The characters are well rounded and they disappoint you as much as you want to cheer them on. For instance I loved Jerry Buss talking about Red Auerbach, but he also shows an utter lack of human decency when McKinney gets hospitalized, not to mention being in denial over his mother’s condition. In short. It’s a good show. [/QUOTE]
