Leverage meets Houston Knights

agt_spookyI finally had a chance to watch the latest Leverage ep, The Radio Job, last night and not only was it a kick ass episode with a HELL of an ending (so that's why they repeated the pilot last weekend!) but OMG, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw one of the guest stars was MICHAEL PARE! (He was the lead FBI guy who kept calling Eliot "cowboy")
I've been a big fan of Michael's ever since I first saw him back in the '80's on Houston Knights where he played Joey LaFiamma. Here, take a look:
That's Michael Beck on the right, his co-star, who played his police partner, Levon Lundy. What killed me is, Joey would call Levon "cowboy" so when Michael's character called Eliot that, I couldn't believe it. :-)
I ended up having the most bizarre dream last night because of all of this. In it, I was back in Portland on vacation with![[info]](../../img/userinfo.gif?v=88.3)
celtprincess13* and hollylyn1217*. We were at a restaurant, eating outside and I kept looking at his guy sitting at a table all by himself. I finally said to Kim and Laura, "I think that's Michael Pare!" and I got up and went over to him. Sure enough it was, and I ended up having this totally cool conversation with him. At one point he asked me why I was in Portland and I said that we were supposed to be there for a Leverage convention but it got canceled so we decided to just make a vacation out of it. He's like, "You're kidding me, I'm here to film a guest spot for that show!" He ended up taking all three of us to the set where we got to meet Tim, Aldis, Gina, Beth and of course, Christian. We got to watch them film, got autographs and photos taken with everyone. Let me tell you, I was a bit irritated when the alarm woke me up! LOL! But then it put a smile on my face. :-)

We ate inside but there were tables outside, and we were back there, sitting outside. And you’re very welcome. Couldn’t leave you gals behind now could I? :-)

LOVED those movies. Especially the second one because he was in basically the entire thing instead of just in flashbacks in the first one. I still play the soundtrack every so often. :-)
