I'm hoping that when Ken Burns' (not the one who was in the 9th Way Corps) latest project, a 12-hour (magnum) opus on the American Revolution, airs in November 2025, there will be a worldwide renewed reverence for what Burns declares has been the most important event in world history since Jesus Christ.

Edward Scissorhands? George

In that case... "You got a thing about you I just can't live without you I really want you..." "Your looks intoxicate me Even though your folks hate me There's no one like you..." George

The Carol Burnett Show? George

A hearty congratulations to you and your new beloved! Have fun at your wedding... I'm sure loving my second marriage: to a non-Way-believer. We married in 2002. What joy. What freedom to relax and be yourself!

When this movie hit theaters, one famous actor was notably missing from the credits. He wasn't in a starring role or anything, he just wanted to be in the movie. In fact, at first, it was hard to recognize him at all in his role. For the record, the early scripts didn't really have his role, but when the director found out he wanted in on the movie, he (the director) hastily added a scene just so he (the famous actor) could be in it. When this movie was in the planning stages, 2 actors worked on the script. They had the same agent. He recommended a third actor be cast for a role somewhere. When asked why, he admitted he represented all 3 of them, and it was good for him for the other guy to get a role also. There was some disagreement over the budget. The studio came down with such a low budget for the movie that the director gave up on them and went to a different studio. They agreed, and the movie became a big hit, and rather famous. I'm glad they were able to fix communications with the lighting director. He was given one set of directions, then later told the lighting was awful. Finally, one writer pointed out what they SHOULD have told him from the beginning but they had NOT. (They didn't want gloomy, dark lighting for the scenes, that would have hidden everything. They wanted the FEEL of gloomy, dark lighting, but scenes that were well lit any way.) The lighting director was then able to give them what they wanted. (Good thing he spoke up, the lighting director was getting ready to walk out.)

That is not the name of this movie. (While I am posting, I will also add that it is not the name of the actor in question.)

Congratulations Twinky!! I'm so happy for you!!!

So it isn't any of those names I quoted then I gather? No. So we're talkin' a current famous actor I suspect. Then I'll take a *wild guess*.....Tom Hanks.

It's clear to me George that waysider is suggesting that someone put something up!

"Don't rush me- I'm a'thinking. And my head hurts." "Did you ever get the feeling that you was bein' watched?" "Why did you pour ink on my head?" "Now don't try to get away! I am more muscular, more cunning, faster, and larger than you are... and I'm a genius. While you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten. So, I'll give you the customary 2 minutes to say your prayers." "I'm sorry, mac, but the lady of the house ain't home and besides we mailed you people a check last week!"

That's a shame, Rudolf. If you had been correct, I would have rewarded you with a spider goulash.

This show had a single episode with Desi Arnaz. Also appearing in the episode was Desi Arnaz Jr. In effect, he played Desi Arnaz in a few scenes. In the same episode, someone else briefly played Louis Armstrong ("Satchmo.") Desi himself played Roy Nitti in at least one scene, and spoke as himself. He also did a poetry reading. Later, he did a musical performance, both singing and with the conga drum. Strictly speaking, Jr did not play Sr on stage, but for most people, it probably worked out the same. He played Ricky Ricardo, in effect pretending he was Desi Sr playing Ricky Ricardo.

No, nothing that recent. Both actors were alive and performed on the same stages before a live audience for the same episode, neither was there through archival footage.

All I'm getting from these quotes is a corny Southern accent. "Green Acres"? George

Are you offering a Free Post, or are you preparing us for your next one? George

"Cold Case"? That show was about recalling past events to solve an unsolved crime (usually murder). Junior could have played his dad in the flashbacks. (I'm not sure if Senior was still alive when Cold Case ran, though,) George

Chantal should have some moderate impact on the Carolinas and Virginia: i: George

"Don't rush me- I'm a'thinking. And my head hurts." "Did you ever get the feeling that you was bein' watched?"

No.

Famous like in the first 2 categories, as in "we want him to star in our movie" level of stardom, as in "he played a starring role in the following movies" level of stardom. The director found he couldn't refuse this actor a role in the movie because he couldn't pass on the chance for this actor to be in the movie. (Due to the actor's level of stardom and so on, not because of the movie content or format or any other reason.)

NEXT!
