Where are they now??? anybody wanna play?

[KristiKelly]

DD's soccer coach is named Carmine, that reminded me of Carmine from LaVerne & Shirley. Where is he now, anybody know?

Also, what about Ralph & Potsie?

 

[DukeStreetKing]

If you go to www.corporateartists.com you'll see that they all can be hired for functions. Guess things aren't going so well for them.

Oh, by the way, their names are: Eddie Mecca, Anson Williams and Donny Most.

It is funny, I haven't thought about these guys in a long time. I used to love to watch Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley. Your post got me curious so I did a search, I am surprised at how busy Anson Williams has been, I didn't realize he was a director.

Anson WIlliams aka Potsie Webber

As for Ralph (Don Most) and Potsie (Anson Williams).. Anson has been directing.. Anson williams and Don has been acting Don Most


Okay, so how about Radar from MASH?

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

This reminds me of another game we used to play called "Dead, not dead". Basically, you name someone, and the other players have to say whether or not they are dead?

Telly Savalas?

 

[disney4us2002]

Dead


Ed McMahon?

 

[LisaZoe]

I realize this actor isn't quite as "far back" as the OP listed but anyone remember Fred Savage the main character on "Wonder Years"? I've seen him here and there on TV so know he's still acting but was surprised to see he does the voice of Oswald (a Nick Jr TV show about an Octopus and his friends for those that don't have toddlers ).

OK, reaching into the "way back machine", what about some of the Welcom Back Kotter actors, such as Gabe Kaplan (sp?). I know Ron Paloosa (sp?) who played Horshack was in one of those celebrity boxing matches but I haven't seen most of the others around in many years. For example, where'd the good looking kid who played Vinny Barbarino go... (I'm kidding of course).

Wow, I can't believe I remembered the actors' names as well as the charcters!

 

[disney4us2002]

I just heard a news blip maybe within the last week that Fred Savage, aka Kevin Arnold, got married. Hard to imagine Kevin not marrying Winnie, lol. He had a short-lived comedy about an office job maybe 2-3 yrs ago. That's the last I remember seeing him. I liked him but I'm partial to his sweet younger brother, Ben, who played Cory Matthews on Boy Meets World. I really miss that show. I think it's time for a reunion!

I don't think I've heard much about the Welcome Back gang but I've seen that guy, Freddy (Washington?) in a movie recently.

When E, or Style, or Lifetime do those "Where are they now" shows, I always watch or tape them. My dh laughs at me!

 

[raysnkaysmom]

Radar from MASH lives in Northern California...he used to eat at my moms restaurant alot...did ya'll know he has a 'deformed' hand...and if you pay attention in MASH...he hides one hand 99% of the time??!?!?!?
Hmm....where is... Danny Wood from New Kids? I heard Jordan Knight will be in that "Surreal Life"...
