A close friend of mine just emailed me --she had a cousin who was an actor, she called him "bunny" (yea a HIM) but his real name was Peter Turgeon. . . She knows of my love for all things Grayson and just emailed me all freaked out . .. so i joyfully told her about how G' offed her 'Bunny' . ..

Now can anyone picture his nickname being Bunny?

I learned too (in a later phone call) that Bunny roomed with Marlon Brando back at the beginning of their careers . ..

Bunny was about 5 years older . ..go figure. .no. . Picture IT

Turgeon and Brando.

I can't picture it all all J99, but it is really fascinating. And to think that we all resent the poor man because he replaced Robert Gerringer. Thanks for sharing your info.

What's not to understand? They shared an apartment, were roommates for a while.

Also, according to my friend too, Bunny was hysterical. Go figure.

Yeah, Midnite. I guess you would know about anyone who was nicknamed 'Bunny.'

The nicknames people of the era got were really quite different. I have Uncles that I didn't know there real names until I was an adult. Everyone that was a friend of my parents were aunts and uncles.
Bunny doesn't seem that unusal when you have grown up with a Spitz.
