Maggie Haberman's report this morning that Basile was mulling a run for Morahan's seat kicked the already - high functioning GOP rumor mill into high gear, with insiders speculating that if Ed Cox's most
loyal functionary was willing to jump ship that he might know something the rest of us don't.
But none of the headaches and compromises of that picture's embattled production history were enough to quell the warmth and pluck of Yelchin's performance as Cage's
loyal protégé, Milton, in which the actor did something with the lower register of his voice that I'd never heard before: Raspy and loquacious, he suddenly seemed a very old man in a very young body, an agency
functionary imbued with a surfeit of soul.
