Hey professor, I saw your pic over on tos. Don't mean this as a bad thing. It occurred to me if they ever remake Lord of the Rings, you are not only in the right place but have the look going for you.
I'm definitely wizened enough to be a wizard, don't know if I have the "wise" part down yet.
Speaking of LOTR wizards, a few years back I was in Heathrow changing planes and Moms Skillethead was recovering from a foot operation, so we got ferried around in one of those golf cart things. On one of them I was sitting in the back and Moms in the front, and an old guy in a panama hat sits down next to me. He, too, was coming from NZ to Europe. I asked him if he lived in NZ, and he says, "Nope, just filming." "Filming?" I ask. "Yeah, Lord of the Rings. I play Radigast the Brown in the latest film."
Well, now the game is on. We had an incredible twenty minutes (gates weren't open), with Moms talking to his nephew up front. He had twisted an ankle or something. So the guy I'm talking to is Sylvester McCoy (whom I'd never heard of) and I asked him if he had ever been in something I might know. He says, "Well, I was the seventh Dr. Who." Turns out he also did security for the Stones for a while. We were telling stories and laughing our rear ends off the whole time. When we got to the gate, Moms says, "Who the hell was that?" I said, "Just some guy." (I later told her.)
