Sepiatone Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yeah, NOT a "classic film" actor, but a "classic" in his own fashion, to be sure. 75 I think! Blow those candles out with a DEAD PARROT, my dear "Minister of Silly Walks"! Sepiatone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrroberts Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 That reminds me, I have to renew the license for my pet fish, Eric. What do you mean, NOT a classic film actor? Cleese's evil black knight in the Holy Grail movie should have gotten an Oscar nomination at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and maybe even as the befuddled English barrister in the comedic movie titled about a pet fish. Mr.R., and a film he scripted, of course. One of the funniest films of the 1980s, I always thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJH Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I once tried walking up the street this way. Aside from splitting my pants, I also succeeded in getting the neighbours to talk about me. Happy Birthday, John Cleese. You really did have me in stitches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dargo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 And just what was the name of Cleese's character in that film, Dargo? Why, the same as THIS guy's(real name) of course, Mr. R. (...and no, that name wouldn't be "Robert Alda"!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 MRRoberts, I only meant NOT a classic film actor as it's considered mostly in this forum. You know, like TRACY, GABLE or BOGEY. Guys who made movies in the '30's and '40's, and before. But, of COURSE his comedy and some of his CHARACTERS were "classic"! Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
