Pic of the Day: “Home to Methuselah” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 30, 2014
Sorry for the spotty posting this week! I’m still shaking off that cold, and the medicine makes my brain foggy. In any event, here is another look at “Home to Methuselah,” the episode of The Virginian that debuted on November 26, 1969. Timothy is doomed outlaw Zach Ontro, in one of read more
Happy Memorial Day and Happy Birthday James Arness!
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 26, 2014
Here in the US we are observing Memorial Day, in honor of those who gave their lives during war. It seems that every year I post a pic from Paths of Glory (1957) on this date, and this year is no exception. We thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and we pray that there be no more sacrifices read more
Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 25, 2014
“Somewhere around there I was kicked out of six films in a row. Then I did BAYOU and they wanted me to play the heavy, so I went down to Louisiana and played a Cajun, Ulysses. ‘What I want I gonna get and no dirty Yonkee from swell country is gonna take it away from me!’ Peter Grav read more
Pic of the Day: “One-Eyed Jacks” transparency
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 22, 2014
Whoa everybody, I apologize for being away most of this week! I got sidelined with a bad cold. Today, though, I am back with something really special. I promise to post a better scan of this as soon as I figure out how to scan transparencies (apparently I have to make a folded paper doohickey… read more
Quote of the Week (397)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 18, 2014
Finger Man, in particular, is a good example of his early work. Carey plays the right hand goon to mastermind pimp/bootlegger Forrest Tucker. Tucker conveys a cunning and diabolical type; Carey, however, defines a true sociopath, unbridled by gangland criminal codes. He is seen roughing up a woman i read more
Pic of the Day: “The Gunfight at Dodge City” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 16, 2014
Closing out the week is another look at The Gunfight at Dodge City (1959), featuring Joel McCrea as legendary lawman Bat Masterson. Crooked deputy Forbes is rather miffed at finding himself locked out of a meeting between Masterson and his boss, equally crooked Sheriff Jim Regan (Don Haggerty). &nb read more
Pic of the Day: “Crime Wave” key set photo #2
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 15, 2014
In celebration of the great Andre’ De Toth‘s 102nd birthday anniversary, today’s pic is the second of two key set photos from Crime Wave (aka The City is Dark) (1954) that I found on eBay a while back. Key set photos were shots taken on set and used for continuity purposes. Both ph read more
Video of the Week: “The Book”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 14, 2014
Our video this week is the Rawhide episode “The Book,” the first of Timothy’s two appearances in that long-running Western series. He only appears at the beginning and end of the episode, an unwelcome presence in the life of Pop Starke (Pat Hingle). Unfortunately, there is no sound read more
Pic of the Day: “The Town Budget” revisited (5)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 12, 2014
Better late than never, our pic for today revisits the Alcoa Theatre episode “The Town Budget”. This entry in the popular anthology series debuted on December 15, 1958. Cop-hating thief Jonas definitely does not have a concealed weapon permit. I’d dearly love to see a proper comme read more
Timothy Carey, 65, A Character Actor
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 11, 2014
On this date twenty years ago, Timothy passed away. It’s hard to believe it’s been twenty years already. However, though his corporeal form has left us, his spirit remains, as vital and larger-than-life as ever. For someone I never actually met, he certainly has essentially taken over my read more
Pic of the Day: “Naked Gun” publicity still
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 9, 2014
Let’s close out the week with another publicity still. This one is from the low-budget Western Naked Gun (1956), directed by Eddie Dew and an uncredited Paul Landres. Timothy is getting his clock cleaned by a determinedly two-fisted Tom Brown. Many thanks to Toby from 50 Westerns From The 50s read more
Pic of the Day: “East of Eden” publicity still
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 8, 2014
Today’s pic is a variation on the familiar promotional shot of Timothy manhandling James Dean in Elia Kazan‘s East of Eden (1955). This one, less commonly seen, appears to have been taken a few seconds later, with Tim deep in shadow. Tim described shooting this scene in “The Highw read more

And we’re back! I had a wonderful trip, but it sure is good to be home and back posting. So without further ado, here is our Video of the Week! It’s the premiere episode of The Name of the Game, “Fear of High Places”. It first aired on September 20, 1968. Timothy has a silent read more
Off on Another Adventure!
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 29, 2014
Hey folks, the blog will be going on hiatus for the next week while I take a short vacation. In the meantime, I urge you to check out the latest issue of Classic Images (May 2014 No. 467), where you’ll find this screen cap from Waterhole #3 (1967) accompanying a great article on Claude Akins b read more
PIc of the Day: “Ain’t We Got Fun” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 28, 2014
Today we take another long-overdue look at “Ain’t We Got Fun”, the episode of The Untouchables that was first broadcast on November 12, 1959. Loxie, the muscle behind bootlegger Big Jim Harrington (Ted de Corsia), enjoys a night on the town with Harrington and his moll, Renee Sulli read more
Quote of the Week (394)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 27, 2014
Carey was certainly attracting the right kinds of people with such skewed antics. In 1956, Stanley Kubrick gave Carey the role of racist horse-killer Nikki Arane in The Killing and the court-martialled French private Ferol in Paths Of Glory (1957). They remain two of the most powerful, sinister and read more
Pic of the Day: “The Velvet Jungle” revisited (5)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 25, 2014
It’s been almost a year since we last checked in with Danny, the racially insensitive creator of “super pancakes,” and that just ain’t right! So here he is again, from the Starsky and Hutch episode “The Velvet Jungle”. It was first aired on March 5, 1977. Earlier read more
Pic of the Day: “Alaska Seas” revisited (7)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 24, 2014
These are tough times right now at the TCE. Our cat Delbert passed away yesterday. Even though we have two other cats, the house seems empty without him. So today I wanted to post a picture of Timothy with a cat. Here he is in Alaska Seas (1954) as marine repairman Wycoff, investigating strange nois read more
Video of the Week: “Encounter at Boot Hill”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 23, 2014
All right, I’ve been waiting for this one! Our video this week is the Rawhide episode “Encounter at Boot Hill”. It was first broadcast on September 14, 1965. It features a priceless dust-up between Timothy and Clint Eastwood. It’s definitely one of Tim’s greatest televi read more
Pic of the Day: “Head” revisited (5)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 22, 2014
Today we celebrate the 77th birthday anniversary of legendary Hollywood madman Jack Nicholson. As one of the scriptwriters of Bob Rafelson‘s Head (1968), he is at least partially responsible for the creation of Lord High ‘n’ Low, one of the strangest characters in cinematic history read more
