He lived on Martha's Vineyard! Maybe Scott and Maria saw him around.

Wow, didn't realize he was a stage director:

As a stage director, he was known for taking a work in progress or a new play and laboring with a playwright to infuse it with "intelligence, sympathy and warmth -- and of course, humor," The Times reported in 1992.

His breakthrough show as a director was "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune" in 1987, closely followed by "The Kathy & Mo Show: Parallel Lives" in 1989, both two-person sleepers that became off-Broadway hits.

i was looking at his imdb entry the day before his death was reported (mostly to see whether or not he was still alive - i thought he wasn't)

Never realized he was the mad painter. It's been thirty years since I've seen that.

Also didn't realize he was from NEW MEXICO. Dude's accent fooled me.
