A family member put on a game show that included Brian Blessed and I commented it ‘must be old as he’s been dead for a while’?

Nope. 88 and going strong.

Who else has surprised you?

    I had the opposite situation with Jim Varney/Ernest. I was so sad when I found out why there weren’t any new Ernest films at the time :(

      jim varney was a gem. he also made an amazing jed clampett in the beverly hillbillies movie. just an all around funny guy. he reminded me a little of jim carrey in the way they portray physical comedy all over their face.

        True story. His brother inspected my house. Very very thorough and very very serious guy, which I suppose is what you want in a home inspector.

        Suffice to say, Jim took all of the funny gene in that family.
