You know who he is. He was in all those movies. He was always the sidekick, and never got the girl. Sometimes he was the first (or second, or third) to die. But he always gave the hero good advice. And sometimes he got the hero and the girl together. He did a lot of TV shows too. He was somebody’s relative on some cable show. But I think he died off camera though. I heard they got rid of him cause the star didn’t like working with him. He use to go around for a while with that model. The one with a skinny butt and big boobs. She was a brunette, but I think she later dyed her hair blonde. They broke up cause she had a baby by someone else. Or he was hit with a paternity suit. Or something. What is that guy’s name? ---

I hope this isn’t a joke because I’m putting some serious thought into it. No really. ---

Chris Tucker. Or maybe Tom Poston? One of those two. Was he ever wearing a dress? No, wait, it was Tony Randall! ---

Yeah, I always used to confuse him with that guy who did a lot of other TV shows. He was related to somebody too. He was often the guy who said to the hero, “It’s quiet out there”, and the hero would reply, “Too quiet.” He dated a model too, although in his case it was a male model and the resultant publicity killed his career. (It was a different era.) I’m sure his last name had an R in it. Or maybe it was a T. Whatever happened to him? ---

Yeah, I think you’re right about the letters in his name. There was a vowel in there too, an A, E, I, O or U, or maybe it was one of those weird H’s. I think he was in one of the Star Trek shows and did a couple low budget sci fi/horror things and shows up at some conventions every now and then. It was the Star Trek episode where they encountered that weird thing in outer space. Sir Rhosis ---

Oh this is driving me crazy. I only read his obituary a little while ago. I think he was shot by a relative of his or maybe died due to complications from a haemorrhoidectomy gone wrong. ---
