Richard Burgi in Big Shots

[janedavitt]

This was the first episode of the show I'd seen. Not wishing to upset any fans, but it's like a boring version of Manchild; shan't be watching again.

But!



Richard Burgi in nothing but a loin cloth (I think) with rope slung across his chest. I squealed. Loudly. I may have whimpered, too.

My God, that man is fit. 49 and he's just looking good. :; rewinds and freeze frames just to make sure:;

He played an eccentric millionaire into extreme sports. One of the regulars is trying to get him to agree to a share sale so he can get his job back and goes along with the extreme sports... then RB shakes on the deal if the man will jump out of a plane; the man does; lands; RB's character jumps, chute doesn't open, splat.

WTF?

RB got, I counted, about three minutes and about that many lines.

Another highly billed, underused character was Paul Blackthorn (Harry Dresden) as a conniving English guy who was the reason the other guy lost his job.

So; like Las Vegas, RB dies falling out of a plane; bad.

But he was a nice character, if mildly loopy, and we saw him practically naked, lots of gorgeous grins, and on screen, so, good.

I'll get a torrent and clip his three minutes tomorrow; aren't any up yet.
