An Addendum to Mr. Dooley's Resume

In my last blog entry, "Hold Up Your Head, Paul Dooley," I noted the injustice of Mr. Dooley being passed over for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his brilliant work in "Breaking Away," in favor of "Kramer vs. Kramer's" juvenile star, Justin Henry. How could I have forgotten the delicious irony that transpired a few years later, when Paul Dooley and Justin Henry played father and son (and Molly Ringwald's father and brother) in John Hughes' "Sixteen Candles"? A pox on me for a clumsy lout! (And what a great idea for Christopher Guest's next movie, what a natural sequel to "For Your Consideration"...)
