Current Talk '05 I / Re: The "Gak" Factor Of Roger Davis
« on: March 17, 2005, 05:16:58 AM »
Roger Davis' characters never did much for me, but I had a personal encounter with the actor-turned-real-estate-developer at a DS Convention a few years back, and here was my take:
a group of us from Grayson's Legion were waiting in line for the Sunday night banquet to begin, and Roger Davis wandered by into the empty dining room. Moments later he emerged back in the lobby, and I thought, "Sandor, you love Don Briscoe - whose shied away from these conventions - and Roger was a good friend of Don's. Go over and ask him a few questions about the beautiful Briscoe. Roger will either be a jerk because you're not asking about "his" career, or he'll be forthcoming. Well, Davis was extremely polite, candid, and thoughtful about memories of Don (who was still alive at the time). I had newfound respect for Mr. Davis... up until he showed his incongruent real estate video to the dropped jaws of DS convention-goers. I wish he'd intercut it with shots of Dirk Wilkins' final moments in the crypt. And this is the guy once married to lovely Jaclyn "Charlie's Angels" Smith?!
