AFAIK, AA is anonymous, thus the name "Alcoholics Anonymous." However, we have the example of a chronic alcoholic who died of cancer to the eye AND LIVER. (Between the alcohol and chronic tobacco abuse, we have exposure of the liver to something known to damage it, and something known to cause cancer.) We have the example of someone who plagiarized everything he came across- who seems to have plagiarized AA. That's not an eyewitness account, but the circumstantial evidence is sufficient for most people to connect the dots there- except for the usual "wierwille was a giant among men and you all suck for pointing out all his issues" crowd.

No. And for a moment, I was scared you got it by remembering who William McElroy was. BTW, this actor passed away in 1982.

He might be described as "big-boned..." It does indeed SOUND Vulcan, but is definitely NOT.

A separate issue was vpw's heavy drinking. vpw drank. A LOT. ALL THE TIME. When he visited places FOR THE WEEKEND, a local or localS were tasked to supply his favorite booze. As in "He can't go for a weekend without a drink, and he's not paying for his own, so you supply it out-of-pocket." That's why we all know what he drank (and smoked, since he was a chronic smoker, also.) Why does this matter for this thread? It's known that some people with a psychological problem or a psychiatric problem will "self-medicate" with alcohol to "drown their sorrows." So, did vpw have some problem he drank to alleviate? I think it was the other possibility. vpw seemed a nice guy when he was drunk, but could be mean, especially when he was short on alcohol. I think the drinking wasn't to alleviate an overt problem. Rather, I think the drinking WAS the overt problem, and if he didn't give himself alcoholism, and wasn't sloshed a lot of the time, the mood-swings would have been a LOT less dramatic. I think he still was a sociopath and would have yelled in between chats and thought nothing of it, but I think the actual mood-swings would have been a lot less common. Yes, I think he was a stew of a FEW different problems, but they aren't so many they can't be understood.

Was this "Goodfellas"?

Ok, a non-political link for an introduction to Narcissistic Personality Disorder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy I think vpw showed plenty of signs of psychopathy. The most telling, to me, is that he could easily chat with someone, turn, scream at someone else, then turn back to the first person and resume a calm chat without the slightest bump. Neither of the people counted as human beings to him, as equals, so he felt nothing to verbally abuse someone, and could do it while having tea or chatting.

I'll answer it after I bring Baby her ham sandwich....

Voice actor roles count. You've heard him play a major role in 3 different movies (technically 4), and seen him in a 4th wearing makeup (he also had a voice role in the same movie, technically), and a 5th movie is currently in production with the same role (which would not count for this thread, but may help you think of the role.)
-
That's him. I remember him because he played a number of roles during that time. He was in an episode of "the Odd Couple" as a wrestler from China, and was in 2 episodes of "MASH" as 2 different characters. http://mash.wikia.com/wiki/Jack_Soo

Now, if I could just remember ONE film ANY of them were in, not a TV show..... Got it-what was his name? Alan Tudyk A Knight's Tale PAul Bettany (Chaucer!)

No, post the answer. If you remembered Keye Luke, you remembered an answer at least as difficult.

Chuk Mai Chin Charlie Lee Kim Chung Quoc Sam Quong Joe Lee Sing-Ho Tai'ske Bruce Chan Red Star Colonel Cai Detective Nick Yemana He was part of the principal cast of a television show when he died. As he was being wheeled to the operating room, he told one of the other actors "It must have been the coffee." In context, it was a memorable joke. (Both Mako and this actor did of esophageal cancer. Coincidence? Common bad genes? No idea.) His legal name was "Goro Suzuki," which does not remind me of his stage name.

This one was "THE MONSTER SQUAD." Take it, Hw/oB.

No, but perhaps I should have used him for sheer number of roles. Mako Iwamatsu passed away 10 years ago, after a long career, and used his legal name. The actor I chose did not, and passed away a considerable time before that- although both actors did appear in MASH, but in different episodes.
-
Chuk Mai Chin Charlie Lee Kim Chung Quoc Sam Quong Joe Lee Sing-Ho Tai'ske Bruce Chan Red Star Colonel Cai In almost all his roles, he was not a regular, but someone who appeared for one episode. With the exception, he stayed in the role as a regular, but had to stop acting due to dying inconveniently to his career.

You want a career acting, you play to your strengths. Christopher Walken's a trained song-and-dance man, but he's not going in for those roles most of the time-not if he wants the job. (But if you want to see him dance, look up Fatboy Slim's video for "Weapon of Choice.")
-
No, but at this rate, the current guy should be guessed soon. More roles later today.
