Why hello there!
« on: June 24, 2005, 12:36:49 AM »
Greetings!

You must be wondering why a great actor like me has decided to join the site. Well, before you ask, yes, it is me, Ted Danson, the actor who played Sam Malone in Cheers and starred in films such as Three Men and a Baby, Three Men and a Little Lady, Gulliver's Travels, Loch Ness and Saving Private Ryan.

Why have I joined an amiga site I hear you ask? Well, since the late 1980's, i've had a love for these machines and even now with state-of-the art pc's, I still prefer to use my A1200. Let's face it, people, Amigas are far better than PC's.

Even though i'm getting on a bit (i'll be 58 at the end of December), I still love computers and I love using my amiga when I get some spare time to myself at home. Nothing like a good beer or a good cup of coffee while playing Doom on your amiga.

Anyway, I must leave. My wife Mary wants to use the computer. Feel free to ask questions about my career if you wish. If not, just chat to me about amigas, just as you would do with everyone else.

Best Wishes Everyone,

Ted Danson (aka Sam "Mayday" Malone from "Cheers")

Whilst I have no real basis for my scepticism, I kinda find it hard to believe that Ted Danson would join a pulblic forum under his real name, my guess would be that he would us an alias of some description.

Anyways, if it really is the Ted Danson, well then, here's a big welcome from downunder :-) Cheers ;-) :pint:

Why does Dick Van Dyke never stop by?  Maybe he does under an alias.

Hey Ted!  Next time you see Dick get the old Dyke to logon to amiga.org for a chat. :-)

One reason for my skepticism (other than adz eariler suggestion) is that surely the real Ted Danson doesn't need to reel off (pardon the pun) his roles like this ;-) Unless, that is, we happen to have a whole bunch of movie producers lurking around here too :lol:

Take a look at this:

http://amiga.emugaming.com/af/af084.html

Quote
Andrea Ball takes a trip to Watford to talk to Ira Curtis Coleman about his latest film project, Lock Ness starring Ted Danson, and how the Amiga plays a part in his films.


After a quick search, it seems that Amigas has been used in alot of Ted Danson`s movies/series.

So if it`s really him then Cheers :pint:

But as most people here, i remain sceptic
