[Robbo's my hero]

When I was young I loved watching Martin and Lewis films. They were made for kids. The slapstick genius of Jerry Lewis made for plenty of belly laughs. Lewis tried to break out with some serious acting efforts and proved he was no slouch when it came to acting.

For a long time now he has lived the life of a legend coupled with his charity work for muscular dystrophy. He has courted controversy but when you get to his age shitty opinions seem to occur naturally. However I will focus on what he did best which was making me laugh.

Plenty of films to choose from but "Hollywood or Bust" has it all including a Great Dane named Mr Bascom. The dog steals plenty of scenes in this movie and this is just one example.

RIP Jerry Lewis 1926-2017.

Just wondering if Dead Actors is a bit of a cold title?

Dead Actors Society or Dearly Departed Actors?

I loved Night Court. Always found it funny and different.

65 years old, quite early to go. RIP Harry
