Charles Durning in the 2000s

The new millennium saw almost no slowdown in Durning's career, despite his advancing age. Notable film appearances during this time included the unctuous Southern governor Pappy O'Daniel in the Coen Brothers' O Brother Where Art Thou? (2000); in which he did a memorably jolly jig in the film's final concert scene and David Mamet's comedy State and Main (2000), which brought him and the rest of its stellar cast a National Board of Review Award in 2001.

Television remained a constant as well, with Emmy nods for an episode of NCIS (2003- ) in which he guest-starred as a veteran who turns himself into the authorities for the accidental murder of a fellow GI at Iwo Jima. And regular appearances on Family Guy (1999-2002, 2005- ) as Peter Griffin's hard-boiled adoptive dad.

Always busy well into his senior years, Durning delivered one quality performance after another and was especially good as Denis Leary's womanizing father on Rescue Me (2004-2011).

Though never an above the title name, Durning's durable presence in all genres of television and film made him a one-of-a-kind performer beloved by all. But even a performer as prolific as Durning eventually slowed down, which he did in the following decade. Then on Dec. 24, 2012, he died in his Manhattan home of unknown causes at 89 years.

Declan Mulholland was hired to play Jabba the Hutt in The Empire Strikes Back. He did a scene with Harrison Ford, complete with costuming and set. As it turns out, George Lucas was unsure how he was going to portray Jabba. He really didn't want a human to play him, he thought he would replace Declan in the scene with a stop-action animated Jabba. In the end he cut this scene and used a giant slug-like puppet as Jabba. Some say that Lucas did initially plan to have Declan play Jabba after William Hootkins turned down the role, but it wasn't working out with Declan.

Father Dowling Mysteries (TV Series)  S3/E1 ’The Royal Mystery’ (1990) - Tom Bosley

I loved watching this show as a kid. Mainly for my budding lust for Bosley. It might also helped me develop my priest fetish.

On A Side Note: If they ever decide to remake/reimage this show, Jack McGee might be my first choice to play Father Frank Dowling.

Better yet, Dakin Matthews.

No Escape (1994) - Ian McNeice

Seeing this again in years has reminded me of three things.

(1.) How hot Ian was in the 90s. This is a chub I could have spent a lot of restless nights with.

(2.) I had forgotten how hairy Ian was. I always remembered him being less hairy for some reason.

(3.) Lance Henriksen and Michael Lerner was in this, plus a few other daddies I wouldn't mind doing. ***DADDY BONUSES***

Now I want to be on an island (not this island) with Ian McNeice and Michael Lerner… doing stuff.
