Happy Thanksgiving! (7)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Nov 28, 2013
We here at the TCE wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving! I’ve always thought that Lute Purdy, the bounty hunter from the Daniel Boone episode “The Blackbirder” (10.3.68), looks like the kind of guy who would spend a leisurely afternoon hunting wild turkeys. So let’s pretend t read more

Nicolas Cage ate a roach to stay in character. Carey only smashed a roach, also in Paths of Glory, but his most brilliant performance may have come off-screen. On May 8, 1957, the New York Times reported that the 6′ 4″ actor was found handcuffed and gagged on a desolate road outside Munich. Police read more

Video of the Week: Lilly Christine, The Cat Girl
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Nov 6, 2013
