The last two Democrat nominees for President of the United States were shameless profiteers during the Obama administration–both cashing massive checks from shady foreign entities, corrupt oligarchs, and communist dictators WHILE SERVING IN OBAMA’S CABINET.

Anthony Chisholm gave a performance in Jitney that mesmerized audiences from NY to London. As a producer on the play, I received a master class in the metamorphosis an actor can achieve mentally & physically when you fully embody character. Anthony didn’t perform, he transformed.

Tony-Nominated Actor Anthony Chisholm Dies at 77 https://t.co/gBXJQWxFgp So very sad to hear this. Tony was in my 1987 off-Broadway play BACK IN THE WORLD at the Judith Anderson Theatre. A true professional. A good human being. RiP&P, Tony.

Anthony Chisholm gave two of the defining performances of our generation: “Fielding” in Jitney and “Citizen Barlow” in Gem Of The Ocean. A member of the unofficial August Wilson repertory company of actors, he introduced the world to the work of this legendary playwright.
