Is Jimmie Walker to speak? I’d love to have his support for Trump!

[lee martell]

Oh yes, you’re right. Still it shows that she was fine as a fringe character, but the storyline was thin, and her performance in that role didn’t have the star power to keep the show afloat.

And, improbable as this might seem, Amanda Bearse, who played Marcie, did not like Ed O'Neill, who played Al Bundy. Imagine That. And Ted McGinley, who played Jefferson, was in the Movie "Revenge of the Nerds".

He has always been a conservative republican. And still got work!

Norris had a high profile during Bush 43’s campaign.

Gee, I can't imagine why. She was cute when the show started, then she got that butch haircut. But in the beginning, I never would have pegged for as a Lesbo.

Unfortunately, some child actors like Erin Moran (Joni on Happy Days) get washed up in their early years. She couldn’t get work after Happy Days, and went on booze and drugs. Henry Winkler, who is still acting - tried to get her work - and no one would hire her. Ron Howard grew up on tv, and never as at a loss of work. GO figure - he’as alos another huge lib - I liked him when he was younger, but, then found out he and Andy Griffith were both huge libs. Made my stomach turn.

I saw Walker interviewed around the time of the last election, I think, but nothing recently. Haul him out on stage, too! People loved him back in the day.

I had my Dyn-O-Mite T-shirt back in the day.

I recall Andy Griffith about 4 years ago, almost on his deathbed, rallying FOR another Obama term. I was disgusted.
This was a few weeks before we were introduced to Lena Dunham talking about ‘Her First Time with Obama” (voting)..Yuk!
Most actors don’t encounter anyone outside their circle of influence if they don’t want to.

“Believe it or not, Clint had a birthday on May 31st, and became 86 years old!”

Yeah, but because of the persona of Clint, he is still ‘tough’. He's like a rich Cabernet, getting better with age.

[RummyChick]

Griffith screwed over his kids when he died

[Patriot Babe]

and don’t forget Charles In Charge. Scott was also the lead role in that show too.

Scott Baio fans, please forgive me, but I gotta call ‘em like I see ‘em.....

He would be a washed up has-been, if he had ever actually been someone.

And from Charles in Charge and Diagnosis Murder.

I don’t recall either of those being in syndication. The show has to be shown in order to generate royalties.

Baio is another one of the Hollywood conservatives who stays out of the spotlight for fear of being blacklisted. Apparently he puts his country first now and will speak for Trump. The others like Stallone, Norris, Sellech, Busey, probably too afraid of what the leftist actors will think of them, so they will not be speaking.

Shame they won’t pitch in. I admire Baio for speaking out. Takes courage—I saw him interviewed on Judge Piro’s show—seems like a really nice person.

[mac_truck]

Not a prime-time slot, hopefully.

Prime time baby!

[Twinkie]

Joni looks just fine.

[hlmencken3]

Wow. Diagnosis Murder is a popular show on METV and the goofy Charles show is big on Amazon and elsewhere.

Not a big fan myself.
