So underrated and under appreciated in his time. Scatman was directed by Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg and Milos Forman. Was in two films with Jack Nicolson. He had a music career before his acting career.
I always liked the man. Grew up watching Hong kong phooey. An actor who showed only a little of his talent in The Shining, and should have been asked to play in more dramatic parts. He had the gift.
Johnny.... legendary TV giant, but he didnt show much respect for one who was busting his ass as musician, actor, comedian and entertainer.. Why not start with how long he's been going...since 1925... 51 yrs to that NY show... Johnny Carson was where exactly before this TV deal.? Long forgotten and sadly, one of the most humble men who towers over Carson This was disappointing to watch. "Here I am, black again"!
Alien Air --- Mr. Crothers isn't forgotten, as long as he lives in our hearts. His smile, and gentle demeanor shows how a real man transitioned the fire of perhaps being under appreciated....he didn't seem to be bitter or angry despite the challenges. May he rest easy in Heaven with souls who love and appreciate him as he deserves.
