I just I did a television show called Highcliffe Manor.
This was one of the first shows I got back in the 70s.
And it was it was a it was a character from South Africa who was a voodoo priest.
And his name was Bambo.
And he had gold teeth and earring.
And in it, it was a comedy.
Him and his guy, his partner, who we call Buona.
rolled a canoe across the ocean to get to America.
Some nonsense.
And, but I wanted, I needed a job.
And, you know, me and the kids and the rent was due.
And I went in and I auditioned and did, you know, and they laughed.
But I always had the feeling they were kind of laughing at me, you know.
And then I got the job and we were having some friends were over.
And Shirley Ralph was at this little gathering.
And she was sort of looking through the script.
And she said, oh, my God.
And everything stopped.
So I know you're not going to do this.
Now, I hadn't really wanted to think about this.
