An interesting article about a great Southern actor, John Cullum. Holling in "Northern Exposure" and Edward Rutledge in "1776" are my performances.

Dixie Ping?

(Glad you survived the hurricane!)

I posted an article! First time in almost two years :-). Comments welcome ...

"I’m a Knoxvillian. I’m a Southerner. I’m an East Tennessean.”

And the (slightly inaccurate) 'War Games' quote: "... it is my considered opinion that your WOPR computer is a piece of ****."

[Tax-chick]

Wow, I don't remember him in "War Games" ... I'll have to get the movie from the library. Barry Corbin was in that, and also in "Northern Exposure."

[theDentist]

You're right. Oops!

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Never heard of him but he has to better then Dan Rather,
He went to Sam Houston State University.
It was then called

There's a picture with the article but I was afraid that if I tried to post it, I'd mess up the whole thing! Barry Corbin is also a cool actor, but I don't think he sings :-).

[Tax-chick]

Much better than Dan Rather. (Hard not to be ...)

"I’m a Knoxvillian. I’m a Southerner. I’m an East Tennessean."

Bump.

Thanks for the photo, phsstpok.

I thought this was an interesting comment:

"But people thought I was a Shakespearean actor even though I wasn’t. It was because I was brought up on the King James Version of the Bible and could read that language fluently. A Southerner can speak that lilting language, that quality of sound that you get in Shakespeare."

Good article, great actor. He has also had a recurring role as a defense lawyer on the Law and Order franchises.

[Tax-chick]

You're kidding! That must have been during a season when I didn't have an all-night baby :-). I never watched Law & Order in broadcast, but I would catch up on the reruns on A&E when the babies were nursing.

BTTT

John Cullum made older dudes sexy for me. ; )

[Tax-chick]

I'm surprised at how old he is - 74 - six years older than Dad. Sure can sing, though.

[annyokie]

See? And you thought your dad was an "old fart." ; )

Congratulations!

I usually just wait for some helpful freeper to point out to me the fact that my thread mentions a particular article for which there is no external link.

Something along the lines of: "Hey dumb-ass! Where the hell is the article you've referenced at the beginning of your post?"

Freepers are so helpful, aren't they?

I Try To Be As Unhelpful As Humanly Possible.

I'M JUST A SPACE CADET!

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)
