Title: Roger Davis, surfer dude
Post by: Bette on April 15, 2003, 10:27:19 PM
While surfing cable TV this morning, I came across an old movie from 1964 "Ride the Wild Surf."  It was one of those old beach/surfing movies popular in the early 60s. Surely you other members of our "49ers" club remember these.  ;D

Anyway, this one starred Fabian, Tab Hunter, Shelley Fabares, Barbara Eden--and DS' own surfer dude, Roger Davis. He got to go through almost the whole movie wearing nothing but his swim trunks, and he never once touched his hair!   [crowdhappy]


"I wanna ride, ride, ride the wild surf."

Then how did you know for sure it was him? Did he start screaming his lines for no apparent reason? ;D

Nope, the director must have reined him in  :D but I did recognize the voice before I recognized the hair.  ::)

Don't know if it was bleached or not. It WAS blond. Most of the time it was wet!

Missed Roger Davis as surfer dude - bummer
But there he was this AM on Mysteries and Scandals on E!.  (He wasn't mysteroius or scandalous-didn't even touch his hair)  A few weeks ago I saw him on a rerun of Matlock.  He got killed off in the first 15 minutes.

I didn't see it, but my guess would be that it was about the life and death of the actor Peter Deuel, who starred in Alias Smith and Jones when he killed himself. Davis was a friend of his and took his place in the series.

Surfer dude turns tycoon.  Only in America.  Can only imagine if he had down the voiceover for that trailer.

Can I ask what it was about (the E! thing)?

The E! thing was about Peter Duel like Bette said.
