"The Dude abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners."
Last night's show of American Masters on PBS featured The Dude, Jeff Bridges. And until watching this I didn't know that he really was The Dude. Not that he is a drugged-out ex-hippy, that was just a role he played. But watching the documentary you see the way he carries himself, having a very Dude-like quality of letting life come his way, instead of trying to take control all the time. And you see his Dude-ness in all the unorthodox movie roles he's chosen over his career, always looking for new acting challenges and new experiences. Over the years he has also become an accomplished musician, photographer, and artist.
