When I worked a contract job for G.E. Nuclear near Wilmington, North Carolina, which among other things was town where a lot of movies were made, I saw a lot of movie stars. Last night my wife and I were watching old "Gunsmoke" shows and the "bad guy" on that show was the same actor that I saw looking at cameras in a store in Wilmington. He was in town making a movie. He wasn't the only star I saw there, but the old western we watched brought back memories of seeing him.
Who am I talking about? He was an actor that played in many movies and TV series. I am sure everyone has seen him in something and most people recognize him but very few know his name. Here is a picture of the fellow I am talking about:
I bet most all of you have seen him in something. Am I right? OK then, tell me his name. If you can you are better than I am. I had to look him up on the internet. His name is Charles Aidman and he passed away in November of 1993 at the age of 68. I have seen him in a lot of shows. The list of shows that he was in is very long. I was going to give you a reference to that list but I can't find it this morning and I have to leave for the flea market soon. You all have a great weekend, you hear?
Nor sure i remember that mug or not. Wasn't into westerns..
ReplyDeleteI've seen that face, but the name . . .
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of actors that get steady work but are never the star.
Trouble, he was into a lot of other things, like Twilight Zone and a lot of others. He was also a writer and did screen plays.
ReplyDeleteSixbears, most every one remembers his facs and soft voice, but not his name. I am one of those but not any more.
I remember him from even down here in New Zealand and I remember the name too - just wouldn't have been able to put them together - is your blog joinable Dizzy?
ReplyDeleteWandaKR, I always have trouble remembering names. Thanks for commenting. I am not sure what you mean by "joinable", but you can add it to your favorite blog list and it should show up on your blogger dashboard.
ReplyDeleteSorry yes I meant can I add it to my blog list - I like your wanderings - thank you
ReplyDeleteWandzKR, thanks, and I hope to do more wandering and less wondering about it.
