[does anybody even remember tinkertoys? or lincoln logs, or skyscrapers?]

Oh yes, though I am loath to admit it. Never heard of skyscrapers but I always wanted an erector set. (Who'd have guessed there were the makings of a fabulous pun brewing way back then.)

Well, Administrators (Midnite and I) have complete access to every aspect of the forum. Moderators (no one, so far) only have limited power on the board they're given access to. But a "Global" Moderator (Dom) has access to every board on the forum - as well as limited administrative functions.

What?!!! No fur-trimmed purple velvet cape, scepter, and diamond tiara!!!???!!!  

You know I was wondering when they choose certain actors for a particular role that uses alot of rage, do they automatically think of Roger Davis?  Because in just about every show I've seen him in he's always ready to murder someone and is ranting & raving like there's no tomorrow!  I just saw him in Matlock the other day and as usual he was full of rage and grabbing people by the throats!  These kind of roles must be "normal" for him.

You know, Cassandra, it just hit me all of a sudden while reading your post, (even though I've thought about it a lot lately), that I bet this has a lot to do with his agent. I would guess that it's the agent's job to know what roles best suit his client. And for the agent to seek out scripts with said roles and offer them to his client for consideration. This could explain why we see RD in such similar roles, over and over and over and...lol.

I wonder if this could be considered a form of type-casting?

Stroka's character in 1970 Parallel Time -- his name escapes me.  Can't stand him.  And the hair??
I've never seen such ridiculous-looking hair in my life.  What WAS that??

LOL!

I hope this means we'll be treated to some hair-raising Bruno Hess storyboards in the future!

Connie, have you seen the picture that was taken of Michael Stroka during make-up with the maxi- curlers in his hair? It's a hoot!

Dom...
Well, I would certainly like to hear a few captions.

No.  It's not hot in here at all.  It's DEFINITELY the Q-man.  I've got the vapors too, and as you can see, so does Minja.

Well, it's nice to know I'm in such good company.

PS - I'd have to send those captions in a brown paper bag!!!

STOP IT!!!

YOU GUYS ARE KILLIN' ME!!!

I think it's the RR, Nancy. (But don't take my word for it). I lived on West 72nd and Central Park West (in the latter 70s - more commonly known as Dom's Grace Jones period, lol) and offered to house sit for a workmate in Brooklyn once. It was the longest train ride in mass transit history (not to mention the longest train). I'm almost certain that it crossed the river via the undercarriage of the Brooklyn Bridge (is that even possible?). The train had to travel about five miles an hour because of it's length and weight. It was a torturous ride - on a full train - in summer - with my infant son in tow. The best part of the trip was all the "old ladies" who gave me free advise on how to care for him. I mentioned he had a rash and I got five different cures from five different women. The best part was that every time one of them would off board, the rest would say she didn't know what she was talking about. The last lady remaining had suggested cornstarch, so I went with that, lol. Uh, where was I? Oh yeah, I think it's the RR. (But don't take my word for it.)
