I like to think they appreciate being able to focus

That's a comforting thought but I somehow suspect people who cut hair for a living are overwhelmingly extrovert and WANT to talk to strangers, not least because that's kind of part of the (unwritten) job description. *shudder*

Lithgow did such a good job ensuring his legacy. I definitely don't immediately think of a horrible bigot the moment I see him instead of 3rd Rock and Buckaroo Bonsai.
