I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I just saw that too. One of those "oh, that guy" actors who's been around forever. Or at the mid 70s we switched careers from stock broker to actor.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Brian Dennehy

Yeah, I can’t imagine network TV in the 70s keeping a black character named Spearchucker around from week to week.bada wrote:wease wrote:I didn't remember him being in the show.Biff Pocoroba wrote:MASH had a black surgeon named Oliver Harmon "Spearchucker" Jones.

Yeah he was only around for a few episodes. If I remember right they dropped him cause they had too many characters to write for and actors to pay. Plus his nickname wasn't a good idea. It's a shame I liked him.
