Here are some of the stars I found on the Hollywood walk of fame that are Orville based whether we've seen them on screen or heard their music on the series
In case you can't read it, they are Billy Joel, Rob Lowe, Kermit the Frog and Charlize Theron #theorville #renewtheorville

Reading good books teaches you things that scrolling never will.
— Patience to follow a long argument
— Concentration to study difficult ideas
— Vocabulary to express yourself clearly
— Historical knowledge to understand the present
— Judgment to recognize weak arguments
— Curiosity to keep learning
None of these skills develops overnight.
They come from spending years reading, thinking, and returning to books that challenge you.
There is no shortcut to becoming well-read.

That old man in the Vietnam veteran cap walking around in the store has a lifetime behind him you can’t judge by his slow steps.
With Veterans Day coming up, don’t just thank him. Shake his hand. Hear his story.
Respect doesn’t retire! 🫡

I've given out over $1.5K now in X Money in only a couple months! You've vetted and changed lives.
I say this only so that those that send me $$ please earmark what you send me for. Also it's NOT auto going to other efforts.
I'll always be clear in helping folks.

The show that changed my life. I directed two episodes in season one. I was asked by showrunner Joel Surnow to come on board for the whole of season 2 as a director and producer. I accepted and spent the next 5 years directing close to 70 episodes and the TV movie 24 Redemption. I was surrounded by the best cast and crew in the business and given scripts by an exceptional writers room that wrote weekly stories that always ended with edge of your seat cliffhangers. If you’ve never seen it, check it out, if you were a loyal viewer, thx for the loyalty over the years.

On this day in 1959, Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers was published by G. P. Putnam's Sons. It won the 1960 Hugo Award for Best Novel and is still argued about, quoted, and loved 67 years later. What did it mean to you? #Heinlein #StarshipTroopers

One of the hidden benefits of reading old books is that they rescue you from the arrogance of the present.

Jonesy was the orange cat on the Nostromo in Alien (1979).
Ripley risked everything to get him off the ship.
Four different cats played him. The famous hiss was real: they hid a German Shepherd behind a screen and pulled it away so the cat would react.
He made it out with her, and we see him again in Aliens.
In a movie full of things that kill, he was the one thing that still felt alive.
