It's Time to Make the...

arrangements (http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/27/vale.donuts.ap/index.html). Funny how lately 3 character actors have passed away, who by name I would never know but by face I'll never forget.



Michael Vale (http://www.nndb.com/people/422/000071209/)
Victor Schiavelli (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001704/)
John Spencer (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0817983/)

Yup..I would'nt know them by name either....but would never forget their face.

R.I.P guys.

I never saw any Dunkin Donuts commercials with Mr. Vale. I can't say I recognize him at all.

Mr. Schiavelli I instantly recognize as the teacher from Fast Times at Ridgemont High that took his students to a morgue.

Mr. Spencer I only recognize from a very small part in War Games.

Regardless of fame, may they all rest in peace.

How sad!

Man, Victor was in a TON of movies!!

[Oldfart]

There will be new faces.

Gawd, sounds like a talent show of old.

Victor is really the only one i instantly recognised....he's been in heaps of stuff

I recall only too well the Dunkin Donuts baker..."time to make the donuts" became sort of a mantra for me & a co-worker at clock-in time...

Victor was one of those guys that was everywhere, I remember his role in "Ghost" best... he was the guy that threw Patrick Swazee off the subway, & later showed him how to use his anger to make himself solid enough to hit a living person or object...

I commented on the passing of John Spencer earlier, but what I found most intriguing in his bio was his role on "the Patty Duke Show"...he was but a kid then, I wish someone could dig up a clip of what he looked like...

Augh! I loved him & didn't know he was on that show & I searched but couldn't find a pic!

I love the Donuts Baker! RIP

& I never heard Vincent's name before but loved his work, too!

Cool thread, Lil!
