Its bad when you have to sneak out of the Girlfriends parental home in the early hours, "Exit backdoor & don't fall over the black dog"
I've had my moments as a charlatan.

I have trodden those boards.
The thespian art is an exciting one.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I have always had a soft spot for the old character actors, the bread and butter players, they never got any meaty parts but you’ll see their faces in scores of films made back in the 50’s/60’s, there were many of them, few cinema goers could name them including me.
There were also about a dozen American and Canadian actors who probably were stationed in Britain during the war and stayed on afterwards, some of these fellas (I can’t recall any female American actors in any of these British ‘B’ films) did play the hero a few times.

I'm afraid I'm more inclined to bore the threads than thread the boards.

Here’s a very familiar face from the 50’s/60’s, can you name him without cheating, but then again nobody cheats on scribbles, do they?

Jem, good point about the nameless ones.

MY FAVOURITE also ran was a chap known as Michael Ripper.


I also have a sneaky admiration for odd names
.eg.
Slim Pickings, Rip Torn.
