...bears a really freaky resemblance to Charlie Chan.

You don't suppose it was the look they were going for, do you.....

He actually reminds me of a sleazy, down-at-heels, faded-pimp version of Don Ameche.  but I'm sure I am the only one here who remembers the divine Don Ameche.

Don't worry, dear....you're not the only one.

But really  .....Don Ameche was MUCH better looking!!!

Nope, I remember him too. In fact, I caught a bio of him on the Biography Channel just a couple weeks ago.

WE are all a bunch of old movie buffs here.  My mother had a mad crush on Don Ameche .  I also saw the biography on him a few weeks back.

Tim Stokes kind of reminded me of the GodFather.  Don't see the Ameche thing.

Everyone sees different things in different ways.

Mr. Stokes reminds me of Sandor, without the tan,hair, eye brows and accent...

I certainly remember Don Ameche.  What I remember most was when I was a kid I asked my father who invented the telephone and he said Don Ameche.  I didn't understand until I saw the Alexander Graham Bell story starring Don Ameche.  It was sort of an inside joke he had.  It was something he always said.

Cute story Anubis,
                              That biography mentioned that because of the movie where Don ameche starred as Alexander Gram Bell, phones were often refered to as Ameche's. I never heard it refered to as that. What this has to do with DS I don't really know. Amazing how these small bits of info. get stuck in our brain.

Hey gang,

Speaking of old movies, with that moustache and that really lousy dye job, Timothy Stokes reminds me of Herbert Marshall, the distinguished British actor who played Somerset Maugham in the film version of Maugham's novel, "The Razor's Edge."

I believe that Mr. Marshall was also in "The Letter" with Bette Davis.

Don Ameche also appeared in "Trading Places."  I remember that my father, a big Don Ameche fan, was disheartened to hear the distinguished Mr. Ameche utter the "happy" four-letter word in that film.  I guess it's a generational thing.

Bob,

I know who Herbert Marshall was, and PT Stokes reminds me of him too.  A boozy, sleazy, creepy version of Herbert Marshall, but nonetheless...Perfect!

Herbert Marshall rocked! Heh. Seriously, I rather like him.

Dear Patti,

Don't worry about it.  Thirty years from now, when a person (of a "certain" age) waxes nostalgically about Ashton Kutcher, Clare Danes and the truly immortal Richard Grieco, some young twenty-something person will say, "Ashton who (or is that Ashton whom)?"
