Summer Sidekick to the Rescue

                                       Ben Gazzara                               Robert Loggia

                                                                Mistaken Identity


Once again, Summer Sidekick has demonstrated very clearly why he's been kept on the payroll here at Reggie Tales.  While thousands hundreds of you blindly accepted Robert Loggia as the actor who portrayed bad guy Brad Wesley in "Road House," the Best Worst Movie Ever,  SSK knew better.

In fact, he was so determined to right a wrong, he texted The Tales Home Office within minutes of reading last Friday's blog.  He correctly pointed out that it was indeed Ben Gazzara who had played Patrick Swayze's arch nemesis.

Now,a lot of people would have stopped right there.  But not SSK.  There's no quit in SSK.  He went on to point out that Robbert Loggia did appear in one of our Best Worst Movies Ever, "Necessary Roughness."  Fans of awful movies will remember he played assistant coach Wally Rig at Texas State University.

Now, some random facts to impress people with who walk by your house on the weekends:  Ben Gazzara died in February.  He was born in 1930.  Robert Loggia was also born in 1930.  Loggia played a great character on the "Sopranos" for a few episodes.  But then Tony tired of him and got rid of him and had him arrested for parole violation.

Thanks Summer Sidekick.  Your usual payment is in the mail.
