I knew I knew that guest star on last night's SPN and it's a six degrees thing as he acted with Richard Burgi too.

episode spoilers )
I think I've read this article before, but in case anyone hasn't, there it is.

Some choice quotations from RB who often seems to be having a lot more fun than he should in interviews. Yes, I ended that first quotation there deliberately :-)

UGO: How did the relationship between you and Garrett evolve?
RICHARD: [laughs] Well I'm a lot bigger than him, and I overpower him when I need to get my way [...]


When asked about Cole Riccardi:


RICHARD: Now that was another wonderful show that met its demise way too early, but it was pretty wacky and out there. Do I miss it? Yeah, I think there is a part of me that just loves that wacky, out there stuff. You know, John Cleese in a woman's wig, I just saw Monty Python last night and seeing those guys in drag, it's so much fun. I'm throwing a little bit of that around in everything. Jim Ellison had a little bit of vamp in him too. I don't know if you picked up on it, but he had some cross-dressing tendencies people never knew about.


ETA: any fic recs on this general theme while I'm here? To start things off:

One by Kass has Blair blurring gender lines rather than cross-dressing:

What You See

and I did one with Blair in lipstick:

Kiss Proof

Legion did one with Jim and Blair dressing as women to go undercover:

And Now For Something Completely Different

and there's another one by Legion where Jim cross-dresses for Blair and likes it:

Crossed

So do you think they used Richard Burgi as the model for the Slow Torture poster as I'm sure that's supposed to be Cole Riccardi on it?

Let's say they did ;-)

ETA For comparison purposes, remember that clip I did of him in shorts in Prisoner X?





And the man himself (thanks for the reminder, Mab!)

My last birthday present just arrived; Action on DVD.

Not something I can watch with the kids around (to put it mildly), so I might watch some of the extras now before they get home from school.

And the Richard Burgi bits, natch :-)

This 350 word snippet won't make much sense if you haven't seen the show and it spoils episode 10 (but not 11, which is only funny if you've seen them both...) but what the hell, I felt like doing it now I've finished watching all 13 episodes (loved them to bits).

Which is the reason behind 99% of my fics, come to think of it.

And if anyone has any recs for this pairing, besides the fics by Valeria which I really enjoyed, link me, pretty please?

Adore Action and can't imagine why they cancelled it. Peter's breaking my heart even when I want to smack him around the head for being a bastard.

And Richard Burgi was brilliant in his two episodes so I bring screencaps (4).

The hair is bad and he's disturbingly like Vice!Jim in places but even so, it's RB and he gets away with it, oh, does he ever.

Now Google is being nice to me again, I found a snippet of dialogue from the TV show 'Action' with Richard Burgi as Cole Riccardi, an action star, giving blow jobs (well, one, but one's enough) on screen and generally making me wonder why all the good shows never make it to DVD (unless it is available? :;looks hopeful:: ETA: Yes, it looks like Amazon has it; thank you all!) I've heard about this show but never seen it...

Cole: Peter, I'm gay.

Peter: I could care less.

Cole: Thank you. My dilemma is, I'm ready to come out of the closet.

Peter: When?

Cole: Tomorrow.

Peter: Tomorrow? What are you--high on poppers? Tomorrow? Cole, you're an
action movie star. You get paid millions of dollars to shoot racially
stereotyped villians and ...and..gnaw on the breasts of actresses that are
twenty years younger than you.

Cole: And I still want to do that. But as an openly gay man.

Peter: You can't, Cole. How 'bout we call the folks at Hasbro and inform
them of your ...reorganisation. We'll tell them to redo the Cole Riccardi
doll -- have an AK-47 in one hand and a tube of K-Y Jelly in the other.
