Our pic for today takes another look at Timothy’s fleeting appearance in the Daniel Boone episode “Mamma Cooper,” first broadcast on February 5, 1970. He portrays a jovial but unsavory character named Wibberly, bridge-toll-taker and slave trader. Tim’s vocal delivery has an   read more

Our pic for today is a lobby card from Unwed Mother (1958), Timothy’s first film after Paths of Glory, believe it or not. The title character (Norma Moore) is thinking twice about employing the services of Tim’s back-alley abortionist, who looks like he just stumbled in from an all-night   read more

Timothy Carey – he is really weird. When I won the Look award for best supporting [for The Killing (1956)], Kubrick wanted to shoot publicity shots with his house for a background. You can’t believe this guy. He slept on a tom mattress with no sheets, windows that had burlap...   read more

Today we revisit “Encounter at Boot Hill,” the Rawhide episode that first aired on September 14, 1965. Nasty deputy sheriff Ed Walker has just gotten his first look at interloper Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood), and he does not like what he sees. When one of Timothy’s bad guy charact   read more

Sorry I missed  yesterday! I think posting will be going to almost every day for a while, as work on the book is starting to take up more of my time these days (woo-hoo!). But for today, we take another look at “Fire Man,” the episode of The Greatest American...   read more

But I think, actually, Timothy Carey in his movie The World’s Greatest Sinner did that [dealt with the desecration of the Eucharist]. The film was never released, but it’s one of John Cassavetes‘s favorite films, directed by and starring Timothy Carey. He takes the Eucharist from t   read more

Today we feature two pics from the April 1958 issue of the Brazilian movie magazine CineRevelação.

Today we take another look at Timothy’s fleeting appearance in Henry Hathaway‘s White Witch Doctor (1953). He portrays – big surprise here – one of bad guy Walter Slezak‘s henchmen, tracking down Robert Mitchum deep in the jungles of Africa. This was another film that   read more

This week’s video is Timothy’s infamous “Atta boy Mike” scene from Bob Rafelson‘s Head (1968), the very strange first – and last – feature film from the Monkees. As I’ve said before with regards to this film – for God’s sake, don’t tr   read more

Our pic for today is a great shot of Nikki Arcane and his puppy from Stanley Kubrick‘s The Killing (1956). Timothy was usually the scene stealer, but in this particular case, the puppy manages to steal the scene from both Sterling Hayden and Tim. That is no mean feat. Whole blog devoted...   read more

It occurred to me that people who “like” Leo Gordon are probably aware of the late, great, totally bat crazy actor, Timothy Carey. In the 80′s I used to run into Carey all over town. One night he rushed up to me in a restaurant and said, ”Did you know your...   read more

Today’s pic is another from Shock Treatment (1964), directed by Denis Sanders. It’s the strange tale of a private investigator (Stuart Whitman) who has himself committed to an insane asylum in order to find a million dollars. It’s a long story. Timothy briefly appears in an uncredi   read more
