Watched the view today and Mario Cantone was talking about how Taylor Negron accepted being fame-ish rather than famous.  Taylor always said people knew his first name or his last or just called him that guy and listed his credits.  He said no ever really knew his first and last name. 

Mario followed it up with knowing that Taylor hoped, once he died, no one would ever type RIP Taylor because then people would think Rip Taylor had died.  ;D

Yeah that is the hazard of being a character actor.

Everybody can only remember you as "that guy... Who was in that thing..."  ;D

Yeah there's a thread about it on this board, maybe a week ago. Two of us posted about his classic western movie, "Chuka".
