A few months back I started making some posts of actor
Pat Corley on my
Tumblr and was a little surprise with the response. Come to find out a lot of people like him. Now that I think about it, I can see why. Short, heavy-set, with thick hairy fore arms and nice gravelly voice. He kinda reminds me of one of my all time favs,
Charles Durning, another short, heavy-set actor that I wouldn't mind playing a game of hide the pickle with.
A Dallas native, known for his portrayals of tough yet wisely benevolent characters, Corley was perhaps best known as Phil, the all-knowing bartender / restaurateur, whom he played for eight years on "
Murphy Brown." He appeared conspicuously (it was hard for a man his size to be inconspicuous) in such films as "
The Super Cops" (1973), "
The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training" (1977), "
Coming Home" (1978), "
True Confessions" (1982), "
Against All Odds" (1984), "
Mr. Destiny" (1990) and "
All Dogs Go To Heaven 2" (1996) often cast as an antagonistic athlete or a law enforcement officer. In addition to his appearing on nine season of "
Murphy Brown," Corley appeared in guest roles on such series as "
Kojak," "Roots," "Starsky And Hutch," "The Waltons," "Lou Grant," "St. Elsewhere," "Bay City Blues," "Moonlighting," "Hill Street Blues" and "Night Court." So I got a lot of possible wank material to search though.
He died of congestive heart failure in 2006 at the age of 76. I'm starting to see a pattern. I find or rediscovered someone I want to bone and they've been dead for years. Damn shame.
Short, fat and hairy. Sounds like a party.
Looks like he could have been carrying a nice package. What am I saying... he's from Texas, of course he had a nice package.
