No..not the TV show. Do you have any personal heros? Childhood ones...recent...don't matter.
Mine...and why....
LUGOSI,of course- Not just because he was a good actor...he lived a hard life even before he hit American soil...he fought typecasting,addiction,...yet kept on kicking...never said die. The man was a trooper. Never say die.
.CHARLES FORT-The Architect of the Investigation of the Unexplained.
.FORREST J. ACKERMAN-the Uber-fan.FJA made my childhood-through FAMOUS MONSTERS-bearable.

I got more...but I would like to hear your heros.

FJA meets DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN!

Sam Sherman ( the producer for Al) was no stranger of FJA and Warren Mags...he was involved with SCREEN THRILLS ILLUSTRATED...a Jim WARREN mag.
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

I'm a big fan of Chicago columnist Mike Royko and the gang of journalists-turned-authors/screenwriters like Carl Hiaasen, Dave Barry, Ben Hecht and Tim Dorsey. Their writing is inspirational to me, as well as incredibly entertaining.

I also admire the many character actors who not only improved, somethimes MADE the movies they were in, but who managed to make a decent living doing something they loved, without being just another pretty face. Those folks always add something more than looks to a movie.

Zora Arkus-Duntov: A Belgian engineer responsible for vast amounts of work on the Corvette.
Don Garlits: The grandfather of modern Drag Racing, developed countless safety features and specs.
Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

Happiness is green text in the "Stuff To Watch For" section.

James James: The man so nice, they named him twice.

My hero was my late maternal grandfather. He tought me more about how to be a real man and a father than anyone else ever did. I hope I can be half as sucessful with my family as he was with his.
Movie Trivia Fact : O.J. Simpson was considered for the title role in The Terminator, but producers feared he was \"too nice\" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer.<br />Isn\'t hindsight great.<br />A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. - Agent Kay - Men in Black

My dad - Pastor, WWII Veteran, and the Best father on earth!
The Red Baron - 26 years old, 80 confirmed kills, red triplane - what's not to love?
Audie Murphy - local 98 pound weakling goes off to war and wins every decoration for valor there is, then comes home and conquers Hollywood!
Harry Thompson - my neighbor for 14 years, WWII veteran and former POW, author of PATTON'S ILL-FATED RAID, and, at the age of 92, a first-time skydiver!
And Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, because they were great men as well as great Presidents.
George Washington for turning down a crown.
John Lovitz for punching Andy Dick in the face.
