 ;D  HA HA HA - surely there are some, somewhere, right?

Anyway, on the SciFi channel July 4 at 8:30 PM CST (9:30 Eastern) he has a small part in a Twilight Zone episode.  Enjoy.

If you keep watching the SFC, immediately following Roger's ep are "Execution" with George Mitchell (the first Matthew Morgan) and "Back There" with John Lasell (parapsychologist Guthrie) playing John Wilkes Booth:

9:30 PM  --  The Twilight Zone "Spur of the Moment"
10:00 PM  --  The Twilight Zone "Execution" (1960)   
10:30 PM  --  The Twilight Zone "Back There" (1961)

(Times are Eastern - Check your local listings)

Re: "Spur of the Moment"... [spoiler]I think RD starts out well enough (we know he can shout), but unfortunately he bungles the portrayal of his older, abusive character, who merely comes across as abrasive.  His acting remaining unchanged as his characters change-- gee, whotta surprise.  ::)[/spoiler]

Yeah, for sure - I saw him in a small part of an episode of Bonanza a while back - he came off as a rather stiff Charles Delaware Tate type.  I.e., the charactor he played tended to lose it alot and whine annoyingly and/or scream uncontrollably.  I wonder if he was type cast and chosen to play parts that called for a type of insane, hand-waving, yet stiff charactor, or was it just that he made his charactors what they appeared through his unique acting ability?  ;D

Thanks.  And speaking of George Mitchell, I recently orderd some One Step Beyond DVDs and was pleased to see George Mitchell in a small part of one of the episodes.  He played Suzanne Pleshette's father, if you can imagine such a thing.  She was about 22 years old at the time and radically hot - I think her voice (and laugh) has a lot to do with it.

Okay, OT, but, Twilight Zone, so I thought I'd post here.

SciFi had a TW Marathon all day (today, 4th); while I was primarily watching Monk, I'd keep watching TW.

On two separate episodes, the dialogue said "Is that just alot of Kentucky wind.."

From the context, I infered it meant malarchi/b.s., etc.

In the early '60's was this a popular saying??

Never heard it before today, and I thought it quite weird that I heard it twice! (play either DS da-da-da-DAH!!! or Twilight Zone dadadadada in background, please!)
