Poor Robert, about to be served up his two 'doggie woggies' in Theatre of Blood. I just saw him last night in Bogart's Beat The Devil. Now that is one magnificent movie.
Waiting for a good print to be released on blu-ray or dvd. :-\
visitors can't see pics , please register or loginIs that your kid?
I know what you mean. I recently purchased a Blu-ray disc of Beat the Devil put out by The Film Detective. I am pleased with the copy and there are some good tones in the black and white movie but there are also some over bright scenes where the action took place in full sun. One thing I liked is that there are English closed captions that can be selected. Sometimes some of the actor's accents are a little hard to understand and it is nice to see what they are actually saying.
I also have a lot of problems with modern programs/movies as the dialogue is not always very clear. I usually turn on the subtitles so I don't miss anything.Me too!

Esther Williams and Jeff Chandler
you have great pictures :)
Thank you, Tootsie. That picture is from one of my top 50 favorite movies, Raw Wind In Eden, starring Esther and Jeff. I don't think it was ever put out on dvd but I did have the good luck to have recorded it on vhs tape when it played on AMC before the network started using the ever present logo and commercials. I later transferred it to dvd. It is a stunningly beautiful movie and it was filmed on islands off of Italy. Beautiful color. Here is another pic from the movie, this one from my photo collection:

Joseph Kearns
i just looked him up.. he was on Dennis the Menace...among other things .. he looked familiar but couldn't plance him.... thanks :)
Mr. Wilson
Mr. Wilson
There is a Mexican version of Dennis in my neighborhood. All the other white kids seem to stay inside n do the video stuff but this kid always around. Moms, wives, n most guys like him or don't mind but one guy is always complaining how kid always in yard, asking questions, catching toads in his yard, just staring at him when he washes cars, etc. Sorta funny.
The guy doing the complaining must be the Mr. Wilson of the neighborhood. Actually I picked Kearns for today's favorite actor because he was in lots of television shows and movies. Ozzie and Harriet, The Jack Benny Show, Gunsmoke, Leave It to Beaver, original I Love Lucy and even Perry Mason, just to mention a few.Yes. And yes. I like character actors, they work. Different genres, over years, etc. Versus prima donna types who demand roles or scripts etc. I actually hold, though I never watched, soap opera actors and actresses etc. Lotsa work. Some heroin addict or drunk millionaire who makes a cgi movie every few years with no lines bit is some expert on politics and society? Not so much.

:P
Tongue in cheek? ;D Actually, great choice there, 21st! Stepin was wonderfully funny in Charlie Chan in Egypt. Nowadays, people wince when they see him act but back in the day he was hugely popular. It did take quite a lot of talent for him to act so lazy like. I was happy to read that he made quite a fortune from having done so.
Interesting comment from a black historian.
In the 2005 book Stepin Fetchit: The Life and Times of Lincoln Perry,[23][24] African American critic Mel Watkins[25][26][27] argued that the character of Stepin Fetchit was not truly lazy or simple-minded,[28] but instead a prankster who deliberately tricked his white employers so that they would do the work instead of him. This technique, which developed during American slavery, was referred to as "putting on old massa," and it was a kind of con art with which black audiences of the time would have been familiar.[7][29][30]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepin_Fetchit
John Ford seemed to like him and used him quite often. Ford was no racist. Ford's best friend in the latter days of his life was Woody Strode. Strode at one point was Ford's caregiver.
Woody Strode was one powerful actor. I'm in awe of him every time I see him on the screen. ;)
Current Actor
Hugh Jackman- Enjoy him mucho. He needs to make a spaghetti western.
Morgan Freeman - Overused and is a one-note actor.
Daniel Day Lewis - Great actor who has not made nearly enough films.
Tom Hanks - See Morgan Freeman. He's had his day.
Jim Carrey - Super underrated in dramatic roles - Finished with him. Will never watch anything he is in again. The Mask is his best film.
Curren Actress
Vera Farmiga - No idea why she not considered elite. She's fantasitc. She's ok. I've only seen her in the Conjuring films.
Jodie Foster - Sincere actress and I actually do try to catch her films because usually they are different.
Charlize Theron - This one I like a lot. She's gotten better with age.
Nicole Kidman - Had her day. The Others is a magnificent film though.
Naomi Watts - Rather boring. She's no Fay Wray.
In November my favorite male and female actors is playing husband and wife in the Gary Hart story "The Frontrunner", looking forward to it Gag me with a spoon! Who plays Donna Rice?
He wasn't Asian, I remember reading an article about him. I think he was Egyptian. Imagine casting a non-Asian in that role these days.
Yes, he was from New Jersey of Egyptian descent. Kind of an interesting dude really. He was author to a number of books on
Taoist philosophy and had a Phd in theology. Incredibly, he also released an album.
When the original Five-O was ongoing it was shot on location in Hawaii. At the time, there was not a whole lot of acting depth
locally so the crew would look for interesting faces that they would come across in daily activities. Harry Endo, whom I posted earlier in this thread,
was a banker. Another example was Five-O heavy, Kwan Hi Lim who was an attorney. He was used to play bad guys because Jack Lord
thought he had a sinister look:

I don't want to spoil Rixx's thread with obscure Hawaiians but the Five-O team did a great job finding locals here and there. Definitely
part of the charm of the original series.
I'll cross the streams a bit and merge this with the Post Card thread. The name Wo Fat came from a Chinese Restaurant
in Honolulu. Sadly it is closed now but as a huge fan of the original series I had a big thrill eating lunch there on a visit to
the islands once.

So cool that you know who Willie is! Believe it or not, I'm still working my way through some Dark Shadows DVDs that I bought some years back. Right now, Barnabas and Dr. Hoffman are trying to assemble a woman made out of body parts and Willie had to go out to the cemetery and dig up some graves. He was digging away when Joe Haskell wandered by and he threatened to take Willie to the sheriff, but then Joe forgot about Willie and walked away in a trance because he was being summoned by Angelique the witch. Just another day in Collinsport.
Speaking of Dark Shadows, Thayer David played a terrific villain in Journey to the Center of the Earth and was also in Rocky. He played several character on Dark Shadows and was awesome. Died at the far too young age of 51.

Thayer was definitely a top actor in the Dark Shadows series. He had a great voice. Hated to see him eat Gertrud the duck in Journey to the Center of the Earth, though. lol

Robert De Niro
George C. Scott

Robert Redford
Warren Beatty
Robert Duvall
Gene Hackman
Steve McQueen
Hey, Nucky, Pacino #1 :) they're all great though @Nucky Nolan

Well so far he's discussed "Beaver" being gut shot and stabbed. We think Wally is okay though as there has been no mention of him.

Burt Mustin. He was every casting director's go to guy when a script called for a "not quite senile yet" old geezer.
I especially liked Burt on the Andy Griffith Show. He would be sitting by the jail and whenever Barney Fife walked by, he would say things that made the deputy mad.

Rod Steiger
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Steiger
Re: Above.Ah yes, and remember the little dog in the sack?
Interesting because I watched my Blu-ray copy of T I M just last night. I couldn't believe that Rod hadn't been mentioned on this thread as yet, but there you go. I love that movie despite the fact that the critics and Ray Bradbury himself, didn't like it. Ray did state though, that he enjoyed Rod's acting but that the script was lousy. I disagree there too. There was lots of cool dialogue sprinkled throughout the picture. Early on, Rod's hobo character (his skin illustrations were covered up by a large coat) came upon a young Robert Drivas' camping spot. After a few words of greeting, Rod strides over to Robert's gunny sack and starts reciting what he see's inside of it. "Grapes," is one of the items mentioned at which time the Drivas character grabs his sack away from Rod. In a second, Rod grabbed the sack back and with eyes shooting daggers, said, "I said grapes!" Great movie, and Rod was paired with his real life wife at the time, the sexy Claire Bloom. I get the impression that they enjoyed working on the movie together despite the fact that their marriage fell apart not too long after.
I have The Martian Chronicles on DVD and I watch it every now and then. I loved Bernie Casey as the Last Martian...and as U.N. Jefferson in Revenge of the Nerds, haha.I remember it well. Also have the DVD set and rewatched it again about a year ago. Bernie had a fine performance and I also liked Darren "The Night Stalker" McGavin. A lot of known stars in that miniseries. It's hard to believe that it is almost 40 years old.
