Kaos Control

Bernie Kopell. What a great Siegfried, head of Kaos, on Get Smart. Then he became the kind and understanding Doc on The Love Boat. But do you know where he really killed it? As Alan-a-Dale on the Mel Brooks short lived comedy When Things Were Rotten. It was a parody of the Robin Hood myth.

All right, I realize this isn't much this morning. But can you understand what goes into trying to blog each and every day? The pressure of creativity is immense; it becomes a terrible weight on a guy's shoulder. Where do ideas come from? How to continue to generate more? Day in and day out it's what to do, what to do? And all just trying to establish one's self. All just trying to offer a bit of entertainment, a tiny respite from the world which we all crave. And all because I simply want what everyone else on this old Earth wants: to be loved and to give love. That's all.

But seriously, he killed it as Alan-a-Dale. Bernie Kopell was indeed an acting tour de force.
