Johnny Holiday didn’t start acting until the age of 87. He appeared at the ends of Miller Lite “Men of the Square Table” commercials. He was the man who wrote the man laws into the man law book.
I got the opportunity to work with Johnny on Roger 2057. Johnny played an aged Roger Clemens who was coming out of retirement again to pitch for the New York Yankees. Johnny was a great man. He made everyone laugh on set. Was encouraging, amazingly positive, and stronger than most people half his age. At a photo shoot I did with him in his Yankee’s outfit he showed off his workout equipment. Even at 95 he was doing pull ups, power walking, and all kinds of exercise to stay in shape. Truly inspiring.
Johnny I am glad to have met you and as my friend Mike put it “I’m sure you are cutting everyone up in heaven”
