Dear Mr. Baker,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of your acting. My favorite movies that you played in were Spiderman 2, Thirteen Days, and Secretariat.  In Spiderman 2, I liked the story about Peter Parker trying to learn how to balance his life with his crime fighting as Spiderman. Mr. Baker, I thought you did an excellent job portraying as Dr. Curt Connors because I liked on how you made him have different unique traits like caring about Peter Parker’s wellbeing when he has struggles in his personal life or his academic work and helping Peter understand different resources or research to help Peter use what he learns to help make Spiderman a hero for the city.  Thirteen Days was a great historical movie about The Cuban Missile Crisis and how the JFK administration worked on handling the crisis.   In the movie I liked learning about how the military, President JFK, some of the advisors of the JFK administration would have different views on if they should continue this mission or not. I thought you did great on making Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara a historical figure because I liked learning about his life when he served in public service including the JFK administration.  Secretariat is a great biopic movie about how Penny Chenery got into the horse racing businesses and running the businesses to help the horse (Secretariat) do well in the races.   Also in Secretariat I enjoyed learning about hoe how the other Chenery siblings and certain of Penny’s friends help Penny understand the businesses while giving her some advice.  I really liked on how you made Hollis Chenery an influential historical figure because I liked on how you made Hollis have good traits like helping his sibling Penny understand life when she struggles in the horse racing businesses and understanding life when there are difficulties.

Mr. Baker, 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 acting in movies help inspire me to work hard on my disability.  Also your roles in historical movies like  Thirteen Days and Secretariat helped me get motivated to learn more American history. In American history I like learning about how famous Americans or different individuals (minorities, women, immigrants, and people with disabilities) on how they work hard to make a great difference for society, the importance of making Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, how diversity including arts or entertainment makes society diverse for people, and many others.  The main reason why I like learning history is because it helps me learn more how society works, expands my interest in learning about the need to make social justice a better place, and many others. 

I strongly believe that you are a very talented actor. You do such an excellent job making your characters have unique traits. Also to add I think that you do a great job making historical movies great to watch and learn on how the historical plays an important factor in society. You truly inspire me to work hard on my disability and to be motivated to continue to learn history.  Here is $5 for you to use to help fund the arts to make society a better place.   Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make movies great including your characters, and inspiring me.  I wish you the best for the future in acting.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
