Hats on TV

[Wesslyn]

Interesting use of a silly hat for dramatic effect. Those of you who watched Dexter are sure to remember this strange and affecting scene.

I'm sorry for your loss

So funny to see him with whiskers

He had several hobo type characters he could do.

Because I just heard about his passing on the radio...

 

[Frunobulax]

And because a quick search shows he's not represented in this thread...

The man could work a hat!

Harry Anderson can work half a hat...sort of:

Note: This clip is described as "From a tv special..." It's actually from the 1986 Comic Relief comedy special broadcast on HBO to raise funding to combat homelessness in the U.S.. I know this because I was in the audience that night, and Mr. Anderson really wowed the crowd with this bit.

Had not seen that before. That was fantastic.

I miss Harry the Hat. He was good TV.

Some of you may remember an Aussie TV series in the early 2000's called 'The Lost World' .......bad acting, ridiculous stories & really bad CGI but it was fun in a brainless sort of way. It's major interest though, apart from the scantily clad Jennifer O'Dell, were the hats, a real Akubra fest. Even though they were supposed to be trapped on a prehistoric plateau, their hats often changed & there were also the lids worn by other actors in some of the episodes........the average viewer probably didn't notice but 'chapeauphiles' could really have a great time trying to identify the Akubra models.......

I recently binge watched all 3 seasons of 'Penny Dreadful' & yes, there were some great costumes & interesting hats..

He rocked some nice ties, too. I wonder what his FL username is.

I have to admit, I stole much of my wardrobe ideas from him.

Equal Opportunity and all that.

Yes, there is a hat in that photo.

Chuck Connors & Johnny Crawford in The Rifleman

I posted this in the Movie Hats thread because my search didn't turn up this one. James Drury (L) and Doug McClure in The Virginian:



You don't often see a moonstone-gray hat in a Western, do you? Or maybe not moonstone; what's that other gray color that Akubra offers on some of its hats?

Chuck Connors & Johnny Crawford in The Rifleman

Probably the Western series which has held up the best over the decades. Each episode is like a neat little short story about the adventures of Lucas and Mark. And Connors sold that role -- you really believed in Lucas McCain, his skill with that rifle, and his love for his son.

Chuck Connors has played some heavy villains as well.

 

[Benzadmiral]

Didn't he play a werewolf in some TV movie? Can't recall. Yes, that hard gaze and block-of-stone face would normally have led to him playing villains more often than he did heroes, but somehow he transcended that.

I liked him as an actor, but always found it intriguing that he played cowboys with a Brooklyn accent.
