I mean, how fucking pathetic can you get?

(Yes, I realize they make more money with one info-mercial than I make in 10 years.)

Yep. Infomercials are a one way ticket to the afterlife.

Have you ever seen an actor come back from an infomercial with a hit movie?  Me neither.

When I see that, I go "Who the hell is Lindsay Wagner?"

Well, who is she?

well, its either informercials or bukakke.

Ashley Simpson will be the next great infomercial star.

But, you're right. I never did see Robert Culp in anything after the oxygen cocktail infomercial.

Info-mercials are just an affirmation that an actor's career is over.

However, actors who do info-mercials can soothe their egos with the money they make from these TV spots.

Peggy Fleming made more money from a few years of late-night info-mercials for an exercise machine than she did in her entire career as a skater/entertainer.  And she made a lot of money during her career.

Don't forget Judith Light (sp?  She's from "Who's the Boss") with that acne cream infomercial.

I met that little sack of shit in New Oleans back in 1996. I was at the NAPTE convention where all the deals for the new sitcoms are made. They had the convention at the convention center in New Orleans. I met Norris, Ponch from Chips, Lee Majors, Martha Stewart,Bob Viela, Hasselhoff, Cybill Shepard, etc.

Well this little shit Mickey Rooney was there all by himself with noone around. So I thought I would go up and ask for an autograph trying to be nice since noone else was there to see him. He says "You know who I am?" I say yeah, Mickey Rourke. ( couldn't think of his last name and thought I had it)

He got pissed and in a condecending tone spouted some shit to his body guard, then scribbled some shit on my paper and turned away. I said, well Fuck you! You little washed up wrinked sack prick!. Then I walked off.

Soon after he had told the Union Goons there about it and they went looking for me. I avoided aprehension. All the Union guys in charge were Italians.
