Walrus

A massive, ancient authority who commanded every room he entered.

Orson Welles embodied the walrus perfectly — a rotund, formidable presence of immense cultural authority, whose booming voice and imperious manner made him impossible to ignore. Like the walrus, he was slow-moving in his later years yet utterly formidable, carrying the weight of legendary accomplishments like Citizen Kane and the War of the Worlds broadcast. He was a man of deep, almost antique wisdom and gravitas, whose very presence silenced rooms and whose eccentricities only added to his mystique.
