Why hello there!

[restore2003]

Take a look at this:

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

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

 :-)

[TedDanson]

Yes, it really is me, I can assure you. I want to share your love for Amigas.

As has already been mentioned, Amigas were used rather than PC's when I was filming Loch Ness, and I thought this was a fantastic idea.

As for Dick van Dyke joining the site, I'll try and contact him if I can, although I don't know him as well as other people do. Anyway, I think he's an Atari fan.

Best wishes to you all,

Ted Danson.

As I said, I really have no grounds to doubt you, but I myself just find it hard to believe a movie star would even care about our little community. I guess if you could get me an autographed photo of Shawnee Smith I might find it a lot easier to believe you :-D

[TedDanson]

I'll get you an autographed photo, adz. Just give me your address and i'll make sure that one gets sent to you.

Best Wishes,

Ted Danson

Hi Ted and welcome to A.org!

I was wondering if you could shed some light on a question that's been bothering me for quite a while now.

Is it true that you and Steve Guttenberg are just friends?

[seer]

Well, I used to (or still love) Cheers.. Still listen to the theme :-)

Not wanting to sound to sceptical as well, what have you been up to lately ? Hardly hear anything about you in Europe ? Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I mostly follow girls... :-D

[TedDanson]

Yes. Me and Steve Guttenberg are just friends.

I'm still doing various bits and pieces in the USA. Most recently, I have starred in Our Fathers, which was a drama that aired on American Television, and in a comedy called The Moguls, where I played a character called Moose. I also did the voice for a character in an animation called The Magic 7.

Most of my recent work hasn't been seen in Europe, as it has been mainly American-based stuff, but hopefully more work will come along and my fans in Europe will be able to see my acting in new projects.

Best wishes,

Ted Danson

So Ted, are you a fan of the AmigaONE/OS4 or the PegasosII/MorphOS?

btw  Do you know Jenna Jameson?  Ask her if she fancies being my kept woman? ;-)

does it really matter?

whatever the name, this is basically a person interested in amiga - something we all have in common.

anyway, you seem perfectly at ease talking to me all this time and I have Emmys.  :-D

Are they painful?  You should see a doctor. ;-)

har har - it was "painful" getting them, but i'm happy I have them now.
anyway, a team of special effects people share the emmy. that's the way it works. the academy isn't going to go and make a dozen or so individual statues for everybody.

they already have to make about hundred or so at a shot. it's not like there's a factory in korea or something. :lol:

I must just be you cecilia :-P

Besides, its not like you came here and announced yourself as someone famous. If it is Ted Danson and he wants to talk Amiga, I'll welcome him as I would any other Amiga user, because at the end of the day, he just another person with whom I share this planet. However, if it isn't the real Ted Danson, then I'm sure the real Ted Danson wouldn't be all that happy.

[cecilia]

oh, and as to the topic, when i was in LA I recall seeing Dick van Dyke at one of the many amiga/toaster meetings i would attend. I know he had a toaster and was very interested in amiga.

he had some amiga animations made for the TV show he was on at the time. (I don't remember all the details - it was a long time ago)

and, no, i didn't run up and talk to him. i'm not like that. i respect people's privacy.

i know some people think i'm a giant egotist, :lol: but honestly, i'm just a regular person.

I'd prefer NOT to be "famous", actually.
many years ago at the start of my career I had a few illos published in a book and I was at this convention coincidently with the writer/editor of said book.

we ended up sitting at a table with people asking us to sign their copy of this book. it was a really weird feeling.
I really like being behind the scenes. I like working as the crew on a set or making special effects. it feels right to me. I like that millions have seen my work but don't know my name.

If it is Ted Danson and he wants to talk Amiga, I'll welcome him as I would any other Amiga user, because at the end of the day, he just another person with whom I share this planet. However, if it isn't the real Ted Danson, then I'm sure the real Ted Danson wouldn't be all that happy.

well, maybe not. after all, it's just a message board. it's not like anyone is asking you for money.

I wouldn't worry about it.

ot.
Anyhoo, what does it matter whether he is or is not the person who he claims to be. People, it's all about character shown in the posts :-)
(btw. keep in mind this actor is NOT the actual person he played in Cheers :lol:)
