: : was he also on Growing Pains, by any chance? I think he played the
: : grandpa! Awww...that's sad. He kind of reminds me of Mr. McFeeley
: : from Mr. Rogers in this picture...kinda scary.
: Odd that he reminds you of a harmless mailman from Mr. Rogers and not from a role he played as a child molestor on Diff'rent Strokes.
Hell yeah!
That episode was hilarious, only because of the cheesy cliches they used in describing it. Diff'rent Strokes (Ha! I said strokes lol) was always good at taking serious issues and "retarding" them. I mean, Arnold and Dudley had to be absolutely zonked to not see the warning signs, and they made poor old Gordon Jump look so evil. I mean, if you're gonna do a show on it, at least pick an actor that wasn't well known, so the hate mail could be directed at a less talented actor. =)
He was really good, and personally, Mr. Carlson was his best role. WKRP forever, baby! It even had me wanting to move to Cincinnati, that theme song was SO 70's.
Child molestation isn't funny. Diff'rent Strokes child molestation is hilarious. And Dr. Johnny Fever pwnz you.
