More on that.
This just in from the Ever Clever Chris:My suggestion for the new sandwich should've been obvious to everyone: The Angwich!I have but one response: "Pretty Sneaky, Chris!" As Brian pointed out in his comment on my last post, it was a bit of a long winded, rambling post. It was not, however, 5000 words. (It was 986, not including the title.) Now had I left in everything I originally planned for the post it may very well have hit 5000 words. First there was my script proposal for the TV mini series based on the Black Angus brothers, BA and Little Charrlie as they travel across the countryside in search of wonderful (and delicious) friends to join for dinner each week. Friends like: Bacon, Chili, and Mushroom (He's a Fun-guy!) While I kept the reference to Angus Young of AC/DC I left out the possible tie in of this new sandwich with the TV show Chuck. I got hooked on the show while flipping channels one evening a while back I recognized one of the actors. All of the articles written about the show talk about how the cast is made up of unknowns and nobodies. Well that all sounds like a great underdog scenario, but it's not exactly true. Most of the cast is only unknown or unfamiliar to the unobservant. For starters, the character of John Casey is played by none other than Alec Baldwin. No, he's not one of THOSE Baldwins. That would be too easy. You would know him as the big quite loner, Linderman, from his very first film, My Bodyguard (1980). Chuck's sister, Ellie is played by Sarah Lancaster that you might recognize from the TV series Everwood (2003-'05). You may even recognize Vic Sahay From a microscopic role in Good Will Hunting, or Ryan McPartlin AKA Captain Awesome from his role as the young boyfriend of Fran Drescher in the short run series "Living With Fran." As obscure as these actors may be, none of them were the one that caught my eye. Now, the one that caught my eye was Josh Gomez ("Morgan Grimes"). Who the heck is Josh Gomez, you ask? Obviously you are new here. Have you met The Ranch Tooth and his friend Josh Gomez? (check the video clips on the right side of the page.) That's right, everyone's Ranch-challenged buddy landed a TV series gig. Sadly, I don't think there's room in the series for everyone's favorite molar to make a guest appearance. And while Wendy's has thankfully ditched the red head tree kicking lunatic commercials, I doubt they'll be bringing the Ranch Tooth back. (And given the new "Fishing Wendy" commercials I think they may have sunk lower.) So in closing here's another dozen or so links and 475 or so words to include with the previous 1000.  |
