Am i nuts or delirius or something? :shock:

I thought i made a rather lengthy posting about this a few days ago. :o

Posed some questions.

Wondered why there was no response. Just did a pack of searches for different things that were in the post and it doesn't seem to exist on the site.
:oops: :roll: :cry:

Hm, maybe our database ate it. But I don't know how that could happen. Did anybody else see this topic?

SCL - I am not accusing you of being crazy, but I know how you feel because sometimes I intend to post something and then two days later (heck, even a few weeks later), I start looking for the particular post/thread and it isn't there. In my case, it's usually because I meant to post it but never got around to it and I feel like :hammer1:

Yeah, I've had that problem both here and in real life; I'll be telling a joke or story and space that I've told that same thing to the same person the day before.

:oops:

I did notice that my "new post" flags vanished the other day shortly after I logged in, but that was during my transition from IE to Firefox, so it could have been on my end.

<shrug>

If i recollect correctly, i think i asked the questions:

1 - Does anybody remember Michael Hayes?
2 - Does anybody remember Cracker?
3 - If so, what did you think of them?


As for the Actor Who Died Twice:

As i wrote this lost post in which i wanted to ask about those two shows, i couldn't remember the title "Cracker". I remembered the star, but i couldn't remember his name. So i did an IMDb search for "Murphy Brown". That led me to Robert Pastorelli.

But, while reading Pastorelli's info at IMDb, i came across the weirdest coincidence.

Rewind to '98: |<<
After Cracker aired, i recall hearing that it was on hiatus i.e. probably dead but might be brought back as a mid-season replacement.

Couple months later i heard on the news that it's star, Robert Pastorelli had died. A family member had heard likewise and we wondered how, but never bothered to find out.

Fast-forward to 2003: >>|

I was watching a "Hack" episode and Surprise; up pops none other than Robert Pastorelli as a guest star! Risen from the dead apparently. Happened to be watching with the same family member who had also thought he was dead. Blew us away!

Fast-forward to the recent present, once again: >>|
I've just barely looked up Robert Pastorelli to find out the name of the '97 series he was in, and thinking about how i thought he was dead until last fall. I recognize the title "Cracker" right away, and then my gaze flits across the top of the page and i see this:

Date of death (details)
8 March 2004
Hollywood Hills, California, USA.
-- (accidental heroin overdose)

So now he's dead again!

------------

So, anyway, his next role is in the film Be Cool, due for release in 2005"
:wink:
