One of our member engraver's is a movie actor

[Tim Wells]

I didn't know it till recently but Chris DeCamillis was at one time an actor in western film. Yep, you heard it here first.

I was sitting around on this rainy overcast day doing what I always do when I'm sick as a dog and that's drink plenty of fluids, take my medicine, and watch westerns all day long.

Well I was watching the 1963 John Wayne classic "McClintock" and noticed a similarity between the store keeper; a Mr. Jake Birnbaum and our friend Chris DeCamillis. They say everyone has a twin but I think that's the real Chris acting opposite John Wayne in this film; he's just too humble and modest to admit it.

Get a copy or rent it today and see for yourself. If that ain't him, my name isn't Orville Redibocker.

I think you're right Tim and in fact, Birnbaum may be his maiden name!

Tim
Maybe you have drank too many "fluids" Happy New year

 

[Andrew Biggs]

Hi Tim

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the actor in question is Jack Kruschen who died in 2002.

He does indeed bear a startling resemblence to Chris........either that or Chris looks fantastic for his age!!!

Cheers
Andrew

Sorry Andy....that pic has got to be one of your photoshop recreations. If that isn't Mr DeCamillis I need another pint of Hooky! A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you and all Cafe members.

That's funny you should bring this up Tim. I thought the same thing the last time I saw that movie. I even mentioned it to my wife at the time.

Gosh, that DOES look like Chris.
Now,
Does anyone else see what I'm seeing here?
