He is an incredible actor who should do more! I saw him and asked myself, "Is that Wonder from Gunsmoke?" Yes, I found out. In this episode he is even better as an actor!

Seeing how afraid the villagers are of "Mr. Williams," is that not the way each wave of immigrants is viewed? That each is treated with an air of Nativism? Signs reading "No Irish need Apply" greeted Irish immigrants fleeing starvation back at home. The Italians, the Japanese, the German, the Vietnamese, the Mexican have all had their trials assimilating. Even the innocent unborn and those with disabilities are rejected. Can we do better as a society? Absolutely! Will we? I believe so.

And the gift was to bring great healing of suffering. How tragic! 😔
