The Finn Brothers were just in Lawrence a few weeks ago. I really wanted to go see them, but noooo....

The final riddle was answered today for Frank Gorshin who played the Riddler in the 60's series Batman. He was really perfect for that part.

Also played in one of my favorite Star Trek (original) shows - Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - a comment on racial prejudice and hatred.

Grave Danger, the May 19th season finale of CSI will be a special two-hour episode written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and features big names such as John Saxon and Tony Curtis as well as Frank Gorshin's final acting role.

My PVR is on high alert. 8pm EST but double check.

Thanks for the heads up on the early start for CSI this week!

As much as I enjoyed him in Planet Earth (A Gene Roddenberry Pilot and follow up to Genesis II), and as an evil robot and, later in the series (apparently after three years we forget that he played someone else) an alien on The Six Million Dollar Man and the kindly dad/cop in multiple Nightmare on Elm Street, I don't know that "big" is a word I'd use to describe John Saxon. Great Character Actor, yeah ...

:question::thumbsup:

Gorshin was a mainstay on variety and talk shows in the 70's. He did an absolutely dead-on Kirk Douglas and Edward G. Robinson. He was also on the Ed Sullivan show on the same night that The Beatles made their US TV debut.

Frank Gorshin was a damn funny man, a gifted impressionist, and a great entertainer of the old school.

Holy shit! I'd completely forgotten Gorshin was an impressionist. :smack:

Didja ever see him imitate Cagney?

Now THAT was perfection.

Rod Serling, writer of many a fine drama, most of which were award winning in his day and are kinda rare to find today. Best known as creator of the Twilight Zone series, the first one, in the early sixties. I grieve he died suddenly on an operating room table, way too young, before I could shake his hand. Looking back, after my faith and my parents and grandparents, he did more for the way I look at the world and people than any other single person in my life, because of the the things he invited me to think through at such an early age. <deep bow>

Vincent Price. I know he was almost as old as Dick Clark, but I loved all his old horror movies, and he had a great voice for them.

Lady Sidhe, for a great treat, find a copy of Price's film "Champagne for Caesar". You may have to buy it used on Amazon if no videostore in your area has it. But under $20 used, it's a bargain you'll want to pass around the family. : )

Absolutely delightful.

None of them. Because they live in a "dream" world

I'll look for it. Thanks!

Lane Smith has died. He's that guy in movies and TV shows that makes you go, "Hey, it's that one guy...what was he in?"
