I grew up basically worshipping at the feet of Don Rickles. Everytime I see him doing stand up, or just being interviewed, he is funny with a capital F, Funny! Don can pick someone out of the audience, & make them laugh at themselves - "Who picks your clothes? Stevie Wonder?" Don has always made me laugh, & millions of others agree with me, because he's made quite a career out of insulting people! However, he's also an actor, & I was very surprised & pleased to see Don in the film Casino; he fit in perfectly - of course, he's done shows in Vegas for decades! Don Rickles is a comedy icon, & there will never be another quite like him.

I first saw Dean in a Martin & Lewis film on TV, of course: Pardners. I liked their rapport so much, I looked for more films on TV - I think my favorite was Sailor Beware! But Dean did some other good stuff too - Rio Bravo was fabulous, & he didn't need Jerry in that film! What I really enjoyed most about Dean though, was his "TV entertainer" side - he hosted The Dean Martin Variety Hour, as well as The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. You could tell just from watching those programs, Dean loved to entertain people, & he also loved to laugh! It was truly a pleasure to watch Dean work, because he enjoyed his job - & that's when a person will do their best! Dean always gave his best - when performing on the road with Jerry or with the Rat Pack, when recording a song, when acting in a film, & when doing his TV shows. He's fondly remembered by countless fans, & will always be missed. Arrivederci, Dino!

Mandy Patinkin - he's old school, baby! The man can sing, dance, & act! With so much talent, I'm pleased to say he hails not from NYC, but from the Midwest - Chicago! I first noticed him on Chicago Hope, & I was blown away by this egocentric,...

Mandy Patinkin - he's old school, baby! The man can sing, dance, & act! With so much talent, I'm pleased to say he hails not from NYC, but from the Midwest - Chicago! I first noticed him on Chicago Hope, & I was blown away by this egocentric, eccentric character. And I wondered, who IS this guy?? After enjoying some of his singing on CH, I wondered if he'd ever recorded - yes, he had! I found one of his albums in the library, checked it out, & was simply blown away! Then I noticed he was the alien cop in Alien Nation... then I saw him on Sesame Street... holy cow! He was in The Princess Bride! And impressive in everything he did - this actor has got it going on! I've currently enjoyed him on Criminal Minds, & I watch for anything else he might be in. Because to tell you the truth, Mandy Patinkin never disappoints - the guy always gives 110%!

I loved A&C when I was a kid - still do! As funny as Lou was, Bud was always my favorite. Handsome, debonair, quick-witted, he was the one who taught Lou most of the routines they did! Whenever I see any A&C piece, it's Bud I keep my eye on,...

I loved A&C when I was a kid - still do! As funny as Lou was, Bud was always my favorite. Handsome, debonair, quick-witted, he was the one who taught Lou most of the routines they did! Whenever I see any A&C piece, it's Bud I keep my eye on, because he set 'em up so Lou could knock 'em over! Most any comedian will agree: Bud Abbott was the best straight man ever. It's the straight man who defines the strength of a comedy duo. Bud was a perfectionist in his work - & it showed! I miss him!

Joseph Mascolo created the role of Stefano DiMera on Days of Our Lives in 1982, & the fictional town of Salem has never been the same since! A big bear of a man with a commanding voice, in reality, Joseph is a very kind & caring person. He has done much charity work, & is probably one of the few actors today who still reads & answers fan mail personally! A talented man, Joseph is good with pretty much anything they give him to do. He's been dressed as Elvis, a hippie, & an old lady! Consummate actor, this guy!

John Dye did a marvelous job in TBAA as Andrew, an Angel of Death. Because of his empathetic portrayal, it wasn't very long before he became my favorite performer on TBAA. He directed the episode called "Jump!", which happens to be one of my favorites, simply because it was so well-done! In any episode, JD showed Andrew to be a character who really cared, & it was obvious to me that the actor is a very caring person, as well. I LIKE actors who care, who aren't afraid to truly convey emotions. I'd like to see him in something new!
