Quote of the Week (45)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 18, 2012
“Acting is an intimate thing – dealing with emotions. The script is only the blueprint – not the final product. You’ve got to take the character and become it. You’ve got to live the role.” - Timothy speaking at the Ann Arbor Film Cooperative’s Carey Festiva read more
The Luck of the Irish to you!
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 17, 2012
This being Saint Patrick’s Day and all, I wish I knew more about Timothy’s father’s side of the family. What I have gleaned from my research is that Joseph A. Carey was a second-generation Irishman. He worked as a fireman until he was sidelined after an accident. According to the c read more
Pic of the Day: “That Sister Ain’t No Cousin” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 16, 2012
Today’s pic is another look at Timothy’s snappily-dressed drug lord El Greco from the Baretta episode “That Sister Ain’t No Cousin,” first aired on January 19, 1977. Most of his gangster characters almost always had a flower in their lapel. He has some amusing interact read more
Pic of the Day: “Bloodhounds of Broadway” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 15, 2012
Today’s pic is a rather roundabout way of celebrating the birthday anniversary of Timothy’s good friend, the fabulous (and notorious) Lawrence Tierney. Unfortunately, they never made any films together. However, Tim did appear in Bloodhounds of Broadway (1952), where, as we can see here, read more
“Video” of the Week: “The World’s Greatest Sinner” by The A-Bones
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 14, 2012
OK, it’s not really a video. But whattaya want, it’s on YouTube, so that kind of counts. Doesn’t it? Anyway, presenting The A-Bones‘ stellar 1993 cover of the Frank Zappa-penned theme song for Timothy’s masterwork, The World’s Greatest Sinner (1962). And of cours read more
Pic of the Day: “Speedtrap” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 13, 2012
Today we revisit Speedtrap (1977), the rather silly but enjoyable drive-in classic starring Mitchell himself, Joe Don Baker. Here we see the memorable moment when Timothy pops up in the back seat of Joe Don’s car, points a gun at him, and intones “Good eeeeevening.” It’s the read more

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIM!
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 11, 2012
Today is Timothy’s 83rd birthday anniversary. Here I am visiting his grave last September. Today seems like the perfect day to make a very special announcement. Many of you know that I’m working on a book about Tim. I have lots of people to thank for helping me get started and for lendi read more
Pic of the Day: “Fear of High Places” revisited (2)

Pic of the Day: “Naked Gun” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 8, 2012
Today we revisit Naked Gun (1956) – not the Leslie Nielsen laugh-fest, but the low-budget Western also known as The Hanging Judge. Tim has a rather substantial role as Hartman, the bad guy’s henchman. Here saloon proprietress Veda Ann Borg oversees a shady card game. The fellow in black read more
Video of the Week: “The Killing” (in Italian!)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 7, 2012
As today is the anniversary of the death of Stanley Kubrick in 1999, I wanted today’s post to be a reflection of Timothy’s work with him. And, it’s a little bit different too. Here is Tim’s pivotal scene in The Killing (1956), co-starring the great James Edwards – dubbe read more

Pic of the Day: Article from Ann Arbor News, 1979
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 5, 2012
Today’s pic is something a bit different. While floating around the web I ran across this clipping from the Ann Arbor [Michigan] News, dated April 14, 1979. The Ann Arbor Film Cooperative was sponsoring what I believe to be the first retrospective of Timothy’s work. Tim was in attendance read more
Quote of the Week (46)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 4, 2012
This week’s quote is another one not by Timothy, but about him: “Tweet’s is the complete antithesis to Sinner. This is Dad’s version of what he thought was funny. He learned a lot about filming comedy from watching silent movies. It’s really a showcase for my dad’ read more
Pic of the Day: “Crime Wave” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 2, 2012
Our pic for today takes another look at Crime Wave (aka The City is Dark) (1954), directed by Andre De Toth. Timothy first made audiences exclaim “Who is that guy?” (especially since he wasn’t credited) with his scene-stealing portrayal of giggling hophead Johnny Haslett. Here John read more

Bonus Video: “Head”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 29, 2012
I was crushed to learn of the death earlier today of Davy Jones of The Monkees. He died of a heart attack at age 66. I thought I would honor him by posting this video again. We can’t see this video too many times, frankly. Davy takes a humongous slice of my childhood with him. Rest well, Mr. J read more
