Classic aficionado Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Bogeyboy, that's good to hear that you googled Roy Dotrice and were off and running with this thread. Before I go on with my response to this game thread, I want to address several things about Roy Dotrice. Roy Dotrice was a veteran English actor of stage, film, and television. He was in one of my favorite films: "Amadeus", as Wolfgang Amaedus Mozart's father Leopold. I think he was also the father of child actress Karen Dotrice, who played Jane Banks in Disney's classic film "Mary Poppins". By the way, have you seen or heard of the current prime-time TV drama series "Beauty and the beast" starring Kristin Kreuk? (I have not seen it ever, but have heard of it and have read of it.) It is an updated reboot or modernized re-imagining of a prime-time TV drama series from the late 1980's - the original "Beauty and the beast", which starred Linda Hamilton ("The terminator") and Ron Perlman. Roy Dotrice was a series regular, co-starring on that show in a prominent supporting role I used to enjoy it All three regulars - Hamilton, Perlman, and Dotrice - were so important and vital to that series. When Hamilton left the show after two seasons (or perhaps less than two seasons) and her character Catherine was tragically written out of the story, the show - for me - was not worth watching any longer. Now, this is my response to the thread with Harry Langdon. Harry Langdon was in "Tramp, tramp, tramp" with Joan Crawford. Joan Crawford was in "Hollywood canteen" with Joan Leslie. Joan Leslie was in "Yankee Doodle Dandy" with James Cagney. James Cagney was in "Ragtime" with Elizabeth McGovern. Elizabeth McGovern was in "Ordinary people" with Mary Tyler Moore. Mary Tyler Moore was in "Thoroughly modern Millie" with Julie Andrews. Julie Andrews was in "Torn curtain" with Paul Newman.
