Sam Waterston took a trip down memory lane in honor of the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s legendary novel The Great Gatsby.

The actor, who famously played Nick Carraway in the book’s 1974 film adaptation, recently visited one of the movie’s iconic filming locations, Rosecliff mansion, with NBC’s Anne Thompson. “What’s it like to be back?” she asked Waterston in a video package that aired on the Monday, July 14, episode of Today. He replied, “Well, it’s kind of overwhelming, actually. This is all coming in, like, a rush.”
