Dear Mr. Newhart,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of your acting. My favorite tv show that you played in was Newhart.   Newhart was a great comedy show about Dick Loudon, who is an author where he owns an inn in rural Vermont and he tries to understand how the community works.  In Newhart, I thought you did an excellent job making Dick Loudon a great character with different unique traits by making him try to understand the townsfolks when he moves to a rural Vermont,  works hard on understanding how friendships works when it gets difficult, and have a sense of humor.  In season 1 through 8 I liked on watching re-run episodes of how Mr. Dick Loudon would make friends, learn to improve himself, and many others.  My favorite Disney movies that you played in were Disney The Rescuers and the Rescuers Down Under. In these movies, I liked the story about two mice named Bernard and Ms. Bianca who work at Rescue Aid Society where they go on a mission to rescue children who are kidnapped.  Mr. Newhart,  I really thought you did an excellent job making Bernard a great Disney character because I liked on how you made Bernard care about Ms. Bianca along with the children that they have to rescue,  work with Orville, an albatross on the missions,  and having the courage to work hard when he faces obstacles the challenges.  Also in the Rescuers movies I also liked on how Bernard would have a friendship with Ms. Bianca and working to help orphans find a home where they are treated well.   

Besides your acting career, I truly appreciate on how you are an activist to help society by supporting Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes to reduce discrimination,  raising money to help fund the arts to make it better for society, and expressing the need for diversity in entertainment to accept people who are different or come from a different background.  Mr. Newhart, I have autism with a learning disability.  Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter and advocate of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  Also your role as Dick Loudon in Newhart and  Bernard in Disney Rescuers gives me some motivation to try to understand how friendships works and try my best to understand life.

I strongly believe that you are a very talented actor/comedian. You do such an excellent job making your characters have different unique traits along with a sense of humor. You truly inspire me to work hard on my disability, try my best to understand how friendships works, and be a fan of your acting. Here is $5 for you to use to help charity. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, doing an excellent job acting, and inspiring me.  I wish you the best for the future and to continue to have a sense of humor.

Sincerely,

Ms. Mary McCormack Actress (In Plain Sight tv show)

I sent Ms. Mary McCormack a letter to her sister Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack who serves on the Michigan Supreme Court for her to forward my letter to Ms. Mary McCormack.

Dear Ms. McCormack,

My name is Matt Winick and I really enjoy watching you act in my most favorite tv show In Plain Sight. I really like watching In Plain Sights on USA Network because I thought you and Mr. Fred Weller really did a great job making your character U.S. Marshal Mary Shannon and Marshall Man into a great team to protect people entering the witness program.  In Plain Sight really had a good plot about how Mary Shannon, a U.S. Marshall has to help protect people into the WITSEC program, deal with her personal life, and balance her partnership with Marshall.  I really like your quote in the In Plain Sight theme to show your objective to help protect the people. At the each of the end episode of In Plain Sight I liked on how you added narration about life to help the viewers understand some life lessons about how to overcome different obstacles. As a fan of the show I enjoy watching every episode with 5 seasons.  Ms. McCormack, I really thought you did an excellent job playing U.S. Marshall Mary Shannon because I liked on how you made her have great traits like caring about people’s well being or their safety, balancing her personal life dealing with her family, and having a sense of humor with sarcasm.  I was very sad when  In Plain Sight got cancelled, however I was very proud on how you worked hard with the rest of the cast members to make the show great, humor, and life learning lesson to watch.

Ms. McCormack, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having it is difficult for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your character Mary Shannon in In Plain Sight, your narration of life learning lessons and commitment to help people really inspired me to work hard on autism, learn about the importance of the need to be proud of yourself when times are hard, and help people.   Also In Plain Sight  Mary Shannon and Marshall Mann’s friendships helps teaches me the importance about the need for friendships when times are hard. 

I strongly believe that you really made In Plain Sight a great show and I’m proud on how you worked hard to make your character great for the show. Also I’m proud to watch every season of the show and be a fan of your acting. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, doing an excellent job In Plain Sight, and inspiring me. I hope someday that there can be a tv movie of In Plan Sight so I can see U.S. Marshal Mary Shannon continue doing great work or use your character to guest star in different crime drama shows like Chicago P.D. or the Law And Order franchise. Keep up the great work in acting.

P.S. I was wondering if you could please give me some advice about how to work hard on my disability and understand the need for friendships when I lost motivation.  Could you also please share with me what it was like playing In Plain Sights.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick

Dear Ms. Sarandon,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of your acting. My favorite movies that you played in were The Buddy System, Bull Durham,  Lorenzo’s Oil,  Little Women,  and James and the Giant Peach.   Lorenzo’s Oil was a great movie based on a true story about two parents Augusto and Michaela Odone who are in a search for  a cure for their son who has Lorenzo’s adrenoleukodystophy (ALD).

Ms. Sarandon, I liked on how you made Miss Spider a great character with awesome traits like caring about James when he faces his own struggles on trying to get away from abuse,  helping James have a friendships with the other bugs when he struggles to fit in, and many others. James in the Giant Peach had great symbolisms like the need for friendships when times are hard, someone who is different should be accepted with other things or people in society, and many others. 

Besides your acting career, I truly appreciate on how you are an activist to improve social justice including society. In your activism I like on how you support Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes to reduce discrimination, raise awareness for environmental protection   to reduce pollution, advocate for women’s rights, and many others.  Ms. Sarandon, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Another thing that I struggle with a disability is when I have trouble with friendships due to some friends including peers of friends get judgmental about me being different.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter along with an advocate for civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  Also your role as Miss Spider in James and The Giant Peach helps give me some motivation to try to understand how friendship works when there is difficulty.   

I strongly believe that you are a very talented actress. You do such an excellent job  making your characters have different unique traits.  Also I really like on how you are an activist to support civil rights, environmental protection, and many others.  You have truly inspire me to work hard on my disability and to understand how friendships works.  I was wondering if you could please give me some advice about working hard on my disability on a sheet of paper.  Here is a small donation for you to use to help your activism.
