Another Loss

The Duffless Foundation is sad to announce that another favorite has passed away. Only a few months after Charles Nelson Reilley left us, he was joined by his partner in crime...Brett Somers.

Somers as many of you will know was married to Jack Klugman of Quincy and Odd Couple fame...It was Klugman who suggested that The Match Game use his wife as a regular panellist, and a legend was born. Brett, who's wigs and big glasses became a staple of the game show era, was a constant on the Match Game for many, many years.

The big Three of the match game were definitely Brett, Charles and Richard Dawson (often called Dickie by Brett)...and now two of them are gone. They say things happen in threes, and I just hope that Richard is in a clean state of health, although knowing his reputation, he probably has picked up any of a number of sexual diseases with his playboy lifestyle.

Somers was born in New Brunswick Canada, before moving to New York to be an actress...She was involved in many Broadway productions, but is probably most famous for being the wife of Jack Klugman, she had three children, two with Klugman, and one from a previous marriage.

She will be missed, by friends, family and The Duffless Foundation.

Duffless Foundation That Guy Hall of Fame

I apologize for the lack of blogs..100% of the Foundation has moved in the past couple of weeks, so we apologize, that being said, I think we owe you something, anything really. So without further ado...The Duffless Foundation That Guy Hall of Fame is inducting a new member.

This was a staple portion of the duffless foundation for about one month back in 2006, so why not, let's bring it back...

This months that guy has been in many films...in fact I feel like he's been ini a million movies...and a bit of trivia he was Hannibal Lechter way before anyone started winning oscars. Today's entry into the That Guy Hall Of Fame definitely follows the rules of the game...which of course is...Mention a movie...someone asks you who is in it, you say the actors name, and when they look at you not knowing who you are talking about you say...you know, he was the guy that was the bad guy in whatever movie...and then they say...Oh yeah That Guy! We all know how it works...

But anyway, Today's nominee is none other than Brian Cox...Who's that you say? Well, he is not the former nfl linebacker that was suspended for flipping off fans (remember when that was a suspendable offense?) and won a superbowl with the Patriots. I'm talking Brian Cox who you might know best as The Headmaster from the movie Rushmore...Oh yeah...That Guy!

Brian has been in such movies as the aforementioned Rushmore, XMen, Running With Scissors, The 25th Hour, The bourne movies, Adaptation, The Rookie, For The Love Of The Game, Braveheart, and what must have been his proudest moment...The Glimmer Man starring Steven Seagal. I mean, check him out on IMDB this guy has been in tons of movies. He's from Scotland, but he's played Scots, Brits, Yanks, Irishmen, and apparently Russians too.

So Brian Cox, congratulations on having a name that will not only always make immature people giggle, but will also be remembered as being in the Duffless Foundation That Guy Hall of Fame.
