The truly indomitable Mandy “Battleship” Pantinkin. Rivals even the great Mark Harmon in casual authoritativeness. (Quoth an expert in such matters: “The seemingly casual, yet unquestionable authority possessed by Mark Harmon {and Mr. Patinkin!} is a thing to behold. When offhand edicts such as "Now, you think about that..." are issued, there's gonna be some serious thinking going on. An almost folksy, innate mesmeric power........ puts the viewer at ease, then utterly seizes his or her very will... the Svengali-like actor/endorser {equal in power, yet perhaps more polished, than another titan of the idiom} reels in, seemingly at will, the thoroughly unaware viewer…..until the ever-thinning metal of our volition turns to misty nothingness......” ) Now. You think about that.
