    Watched Jack Ryan on Amazon and seeing Bunk on it was like seeing an old friend.  I love Bunk, as well.  I love pretty much everything about that show...but Omar is just the best, to me.
    I love all of the ones you picked....Raylen was awesome but I would probably pick Boyd Crowder.
    You pick the heroes, except one.
    I pick the baddies, except one.

    I went to a place where Kelly consistently was in back in.....97? or so.
    We would be getting drinks in and turn around....was tough not to be bozos and say SBTB related things, but we did not

    Belding or whatever his name is in real life would hang out in college bars in oneonta ny all the time. I don’t know why but he was pretty much morbidly obese at the time and it was pathetic. Saw him a lot of times.
     
    Kelly is so cal seems a lot cooler 
  • F Me In The BrainF Me In The Brain this knows everybody from other commets Posts: 31,601
    She wasn't looking her best but was still cool to see her.  Saw all sorts of folks there who were famous but it was a kind of special access place that we got into because of where one of our buddies worked so we kept as low a profile as we could.  
    When Mel Gibsons problems came out....wasn't much of a shock.  ;)


    I love some of the names people are sharing.
    So many great characters.
