Film creator Glenn Gordon Caron, who worked with Bruce during the 1980s on the sitcom "Moonlighting," shared insights into the actor's condition. Glenn disclosed that Bruce's verbal abilities have significantly declined, stating, "My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am. Hes not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader - he didnt want anyone to know that - and hes not reading now." Glenn expressed that Bruce is still recognizable and appreciated when spending time with him, but the actor's characteristic zest for life has waned.
