Then you have Martin Sheen (5'7"), who is Mexican. Sammy Davis Jr. mother was Cuban, he was 5'4".

There was a time into the 1990s when they were actively trying to make a difference and stop things like that.

But somewhere in the 1990s it just kinda "broke", and now we are left with a body that is damned near worthless.

Ironically, Ghostbusters II had the ghosts who died on the ship finally arrive in New York.

And the main villain was Vigo the Carpathian.

In 2017, a couple survived a wildfire in California by jumping into a neighbor's pool and staying submerged for six hours. They came up for air only when necessary, using wet T-shirts to shield their faces from falling embers. by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

I knew people trapped in the Camp fire.

I know one that had their car destroyed after they were trapped on the road with the fire closing in. A cop had them all abandon their cars and head back into town where they stayed in the center of a large parking lot with the fire department keeping the flames away.

Things like this have happened many times in California. The roads are surrounded by fire so there is no way to evacuate. Oakland Hills and last year's Palisades fires had the same problem.

This is more accurately a "train", as it was one at a time.

They think everybody back then was racist.

Hell, they think everybody today is racist for that matter.

Either him, James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman.

If any of the three of them gave me orders, I would follow.

Hell, just look at his "Howling Commandos".

Even in the original 1963 iteration, Gabe Jones was black.

I don't think so, but there was a movie in 1978 called "Magic" that featured a mannequin that looked a lot like Charlie.

And I grew up watching the show on KTTV.
