David Ogden Stiers

RAlan, this is the first I heard about it. He strikes me as a bright, decent person (based mainly on when he was with you on M*A*S*H.) As to his coming out, I say cheers for anyone with the courage to be their true self regardless of what the gossips might say, or those who are so busy minding everyone's business but their own. Good luck to him!

RSometimes

RHigh School Hero (1927)… Nick Stuart, Sally Phipps, William Bailey, John Darrow, Wade Boteler. Pete Greer and Bill Merrill try to win the affections of Eleanor Barrett through the high school play and in the big game.Campus Confessions (1938)… William Henry, Betty Grable, Thurston Hall, Fritz Feld, John Arledge, Lane Chandler, Roy Gordon, Matty Kemp. Silly Hollywood college film noted for the appearance of Hank Luisetti, generally credited as the inventor of the one-handed shot in basketball. Luisetti appeared after graduation from Stanford University. He also was voted the second most influential basketball player (behind George Mikan) in the first half of the 20th century.The Harlem Globetrotters (1951)… Thomas Gomez, Dorothy Dandridge, Bill Walker, Angela Clarke. Young Bill Townsend drops out of college to join the famous independent Trotter team. He also finds romance along the way. "Goose" Tatum and fancy dribbler Marcus Haynes were the star players of the Globetrotters at the time and Abe Saperstein was the owner. Tatum, Haynes, Babe Presley, Ermer Robinson, Duke Cumberland, Clarence Wilson, Pop Gates, Frank Washington, Ted Strong and other current team members appear in the film as themselves. Also featured is a lot of actual game footage (three times against the Celtics with Tony Lavelli and Big Bob Hahn) including their famous "Sweet Georgia Brown" warm-up routine. [Along with making the film, the team toured Major League Baseball stadiums that year and went on their first tour of South America.]The Basketball Fix (1951)… John Ireland, Marshall Thompson, Vanessa Brown, William Bishop, John Sands. A college basketball star (Johnny Long) reluctantly accepts money from a big time gambler (Mike Taft) and becomes involved in point shaving. A sportswriter, who tells the story from his point of view, tries to get him back on the right track. Pretty good effort for the time.Go, Man, Go (1954)… Dane Clark, Pat Breslin, Sidney Poitier, Edmond Ryan. History of the Globetrotters from their inception in 1927 by white manager Abe Saperstein. Clark plays Saperstein and Poitier plays an assistant coach. Much better than the previous effort. "Meadowlark" Lemon, in his first of 24 years with the Globetrotters, Ermer Robinson and Willie Gardner were the stars of the team in '54. The film was actually made in 1953 and directed by James Wong Howe, the famed cinematographer. [The name of the opposing white team was omitted in the movie for fear of a box office flop if an all-black team defeated a “known” white team. These were Red Klotz's famous teams variously known as the Washington Generals, Boston Shamrocks, Baltimore Rockets, New York Nationals, Atlantic City Seagulls, and the New Jersey Reds, which started regularly playing the Trotters in '53.] Tall Story (1960)… Anthony Perkins, Jane Fonda, Ray Walston, Marc Connelly, Anne Jackson, Murray Hamilton. Fonda (in film debut) falls for Custer College star Ray Blent. Unfortunately, Perkins is no athlete as he proved three years earlier in Fear Strikes Out. Interesting for the cast and time period though.The Absent-Minded Professor (1961)… Fred MacMurray, Leon Ames, Edward Andrews, Raymond Bailey, Paul Frees, Forrest Lewis, Jack Mullaney, Nancy Olson, Ed Wynn, Keenan Wynn. A popular Disney action film starring the inimitable Fred MacMurray as the addled professor who invents a miraculous anti-gravity substance he calls "flubber." It gets used to, among other things, propel his college's basketball team to victory and send his Model T on a flight around Washington, D.C. Almost 50 years old, it still delights.Drive, He Said (1972)… William Tepper, Karen Black, Michael Margotta, Bruce Dern, David Ogden Stiers. Drama (directorial debut by Jack Nicholson) about an Ohio college basketball star being pressured to quit and become a campus activist. Dern is excellent as his intense college coach. Realistic basketball scenes featuring ex-NBA player Mike Warren.Maurie (1973)… Bernie Casey, Bo Svenson. True story of Cincinnati Royals star and 1958 Rookie of the Year Maurice Stokes and his battle with paralysis (from an accidental blow to the head) that cut his career short in the late 50s. Svenson plays teammate Jack Twyman who dedicated himself to Stokes' rehab. Originally known as Big Mo, it was re-released in the mid-70s with the final death scene cut and an upbeat ending inserted. Announcer Chris Schenkel has a cameo.Shirts/Skins (1973)… Bill Bixby, Doug McClure, Leonard Frey, Rene Auberjonois, McLean Stevenson, Robert Walden, Loretta Switt, Audrey Christie. A weekly pick-up basketball game turns into a dumb hide-and-seek contest of egos. Good cast but below average script. Warning: these guys cannot play ball.The Gambler (1974)… James Caan, Paul Sorvino, Lauren Hutton, Morris Carnovsky, Burt Young, Vic Tayback, Steven Keats, James Woods, Stuart Margolin. A college professor's compulsive gambling habit forces a star basketball player t

RClopin, because he's so cool!!! and he has a puppet that looks just like him!!!!! oh, and Phoebus. "it means: Sun God." :D he's such a doofus. Strangely enough, i also like the Archdeacon because its David Ogden Stiers!!!!!

RTheir eyes do look a lot alike. And mouth, kind of. This is only based on some quick picture searches of John Gielgud though, I have never seen him in anything. I don't think David Ogden Stiers sounds quite as pretentious in real life, if that helps any. Also, I would have his baby. Even though he was kind of a bastard sometimes on M*A*S*H.
