Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 15, 2015
Many kind, deifying and admiring words have been written to extol the virtues of Timothy William Carey, the hulking, Irish-Italian Brooklynite actor who was notoriously difficult to work with.

Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 8, 2015
To the casual observer, Timothy Carey was one of filmdom’s most unusual character actors. He certainly was, but he was so much more. He was a force of nature. Notoriously challenging to work with, Carey did things his way and more than once butted heads with studio officials in Hollywood. In f read more

Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 1, 2015
Truly one of the greats, actor Timothy Carey was unparalleled in his career in his portrayals of creepy, scary, dirty, slimy swarthy bastards. No one did it better — no one ever will. In addition to a very eclectic filmography as an actor, he also directed at least one bonafide classic. (ITEM read more
