"That Guy"
James (Jamie) Remar is occasionally referred to as "that guy" because of his many TV and movie roles and familiar face to many. If you tune across the channels you are likely to run across one of his hundred or so character parts he has played over his several decade acting career.
If you watch "Dexter" (recommended) here is what he looks like.
Jamie loaned me his scooter when we were about 13 or 14. I think it was some kind of 100cc Honda. That new feeling of freedom and power as I sped through the back roads of Newton Center was incredible, and memorable. Since that day I have been addicted to motorcycles.

I rode that scooter many times myself. It's fitting that even back then Jamie was a film star in the many crazy super-8 horror films we made in his back yard with the Parnell brothers. I wonder if he's still got any of them.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Rusty Parnell?
ReplyDeleteAnybody's guess. I saw him somewhere around '74 right before I left Boston but have heard nothing since then.
ReplyDeleteYea, but where is Maryann Parnell now?

ReplyDeleteI can remember sitting in Jamies kitchen with his sister Suzy and having fun with their bulldong Max. I would like to know where Suzy is. Can anyone help me?

I'm in fairly regular contact with "James" these days. I'll ask him what Suzy is up to of late

Suzy is in Arlington happily married and looking all of 25yrs; Rusty Parnell was last in Cambridge, MA- Marianne (Moi) is in Tallahassee, FL- I remember Jaime talking for hours to my dearly, departed father- gleaning from my dad all kinds of bits of wisdom.
