It was about an argument between Archie and his wife, because he doesnt take her out anymore.
So she says shes going to go out on the town on her own.
She winds up at Kelseys.
Wingreens friend Paul Bogart directed the episode and recommended the actor for the role.
They broke for their hiatus and when the next season started, I got a call from my agent.
He said they wanted me back.
So they got me back…for seven more years.
And the poor guy who had to take a vacation lost his job.
Wingreens talents also extended across the big-screen space.
Ive signed a lot of photos of Boba Fett.
