There are so many wonderful men on Perry Mason. While I was fiddling around looking through Dead Ringer pictures to make a Steve icon, I saw so many adorable shots of Hamilton that I wanted to stop and icon too. Which makes me wish again that we were allowed more than 15 icons for free. Or to wish that Insanejournal, which gives you 100 free, was a more active place.

I've been teetering back and forth between fangirling Steve here, Andy and Amory, and Hamilton for the past couple of weeks. And by extension, their actors. And let's not forget William Boyett. (I just bought the trading card they made of his Star Trek character with the fedora. And we're on season 4 of Highway Patrol again, so it's William B. every night/morning! YES!) It's all rather confusing and overwhelming. I'm a bundle of squeeing, adoring nerves.

Wednesday I was talking to Dad about Richard Anderson and he told me he thinks Richard is the guy who leads the crowd in singing the drinking song in the movie The Student Prince. That amuses me to no end. I didn't even remember Richard sang. I already knew he was in the movie, so now I wanna see it again all the more. I keep picturing Steve singing that song and then cracking up at the thought.

And I've started my Wild Wild West story that's a follow-up to Richard's episode. It's based around my theory that his character had an evil double, because otherwise some things just don't add up. I'm a lot better with writing for Jim and Arte than I was before. I was delving more into their thoughts and personalities and I felt very comfortable with it. It's a very satisfying feeling.

Wednesday I also saw a new Superman movie at Wal-Mart. And they brought George Newbern back! I was so excited I exclaimed right in the store. Seriously, I thought they'd moved on to other actors. It seems like they never keep one for long. And I thought Tim Daly was the fan-favorite Superman voice. But on these recent direct-to-video movies they've been making, it seems like they alternate between using Tim's voice, George's, and one or two various other actors. I wish they had used George for the Doomsday one.

I've gotta get me all the George ones.

So many men, so little time.

Yay for George Newbern! That's awesome that they did bring him back, even if he has to share it. It's always awesome when a beloved actor returns to a role after someone else takes it. After that big voice cast change upset that happened in Pokémon, there was much rejoicing in the fandom when they brought Ted Lewis back to voice Giovanni. Unfortunately, he was the only one they brought back, but, still... he's awesome.

Yes!

That is so cool that they finally brought Ted Lewis back. I wonder what convinced them? Especially when they wouldn't bring back anyone else.

Speaking of Richard Anderson, I just watched an Untouchables episode in which he played a major guest role (looking verrrry handsome). And now I am eagerly awaiting the next time TCM shows The Student Prince - I had no idea he was in it!

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Puurr. I love The Untouchables, as historically inaccurate as it may be, just because it's so much fun. I knew about Richard's role there, but I hadn't seen it yet, since I've been seeking out good guy roles first and stumbling across villain roles mostly by accident. But I shall definitely investigate now!

Good luck catching it! I'm still hoping we can watch our old copy recorded from TV soon.

Sadly, it's not Anderson's character leading the crowd in the drinking song (I found a clip on YouTube), but he is standing right there next to the guy.

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Ah, a pity indeed. That would have been so epically hilarious and awesome.

Does he sing any lines solo? I'm very curious to know if he can sing.

[tarlonniel.livejournal.com]

Not in that bit; he's just part of the chorus. There's a chance he sings elsewhere, but I can't remember if there are any other songs involving the students (it's been awhile since I've seen the musical version).

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

I shall definitely be on the lookout!

He's also in the movie Scaramouche, but his character sadly dies there. Alas.

[tarlonniel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a lot of people die in... wait a minute. He was Philippe!! Holy cow, I didn't even realize that was him until just now. I remember really liking the character and being so sad when he died - that's why. Too bad I missed the first part when it was on TV recently, I probably would've recognized him that time. Good grief. Now I don't know if I ever want to watch the bit where he dies again; poor not-Steve.

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I would like to see the film again myself, but I'm not sure I want to see the death scene again either!

Oh, do you get the AMC channel? I noticed that one of Richard's Rifleman episodes is supposed to air on it this coming Saturday, the 7th. At least, if IMDB's schedule is correct.

[tarlonniel.livejournal.com]

I used to, but it disappeared from my provider's lineup about a month ago. Fortunately MeTV also airs The Rifleman so maybe I'll catch his episodes there eventually.

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Ugh.

Hopefully! The one I'm referring to is called The Lariat. There's a clip of it on YouTube, which made me squee like mad.

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

I watched The Untouchables episode yesterday! It was awesome. Eee, I was delighted that Richard's character wasn't as bad as some of them and was upset by the sadistic things being done. And I was also delighted that he survived. I thought I'd read that his character died. Either I read it wrong or someone didn't know what they were talking about.

[tarlonniel.livejournal.com]

He wasn't allowed to die. I forbade it. And this time the gods actually listened to me ;)
