SINCE THEIR IS NOTHING TO DO THE MRS AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING OLD
MOVIES. WE HAVING BEEN WATCHING WESTERN MOVIES. CHEYANNE WAS ON
AND IT WAS ABOUT SOME BAD GUYS TRYING TO ROB A TRAIN AND STOP THE
TRAIN THAT WAS ABOUT AN HOUR BEHIND THE TRAIN THEY STOPED WHICH
HAD THE PRESIDENT ON IT. ANYHOW I NOTICED ONE OF THE BAD GUYS AND
HE LOOKED LIKE ED DICKEY WHO I PLAYED FOOTBALL WITH AT UH .ED WAS
A WILD GUY WHO PLAYED END. ED WAS ABOUT 6’4 AND A REAL CHARACTER.
WE CAME IN AS FRESHMAN AND PLAY UP TO OUR SOPH YEAR. I HUNG UP MY
CLEATS AS I WAS DO A KNEE OPERATION THAT I DID NOT WANT TO GO THRU.
ED QUIT AND TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO HOLYWOOD TO GET IN THE MOVIES.
HE CAME BY MY APT ON THE WAY OUT OF TOWN TO SAY GOODBYE. FOR YEARS
I HAD WATCHED TO SEE IF HE EVER GOT IN A MOVIE. I WATCHED THE CREDITS
AND RED IN THE MOVIE WAS ED DICKEY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM IN ANY OTHER
MOVIE, BUT ED MADE THE MOVIES. WE USE TO DOUBLE DATE AS ED HAD A CAR.
A REAL CHARACTER BUT HE MADE IT. WE HAD THREE DICKEYS, JIMMY QB AND
HIS BROTHER BILLY RAY DICKEY QB AND ED. IF ANYONE WAS ON THAT TEAM TELL
THEM ED MADE THE MOVIES.
Thanks Gray Fox,
Always love your posts!
Ha. That’s pretty cool.
Definitely going to queue up “Cheyenne”!!!
ACCORDING TO IMBD.COM THAT IS ED’S ONLY FILM CREDIT.
I WILL HAVE TO DO SOME CHECKING BUT PRETTY SURE JIMMY DICKEY WAS A FRIEND OF MY PARENTS. WAS HE OUT OF THE GALENA PARK AREA?
Now that I think of it (thx Grey) , I think Lee Canlito (sp?) worked in Hollywood as a stunt double…too bad his knees were injured, tremendous athlete.
HE WAS OUT OF GALENA PARK-ISH AREA – ALSO A DISTANT RELATIVE OF MINE. HIS SON IS THE OC FOR THE AGGIES.
WHILE JIMMY AND INEZ LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY PARENTS FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND JIMMY GRADUATED FROM GPHS WITH MY MOM, IT WAS HIS COUSIN THAT WAS A CLOSE FRIEND OF THE FAMILY. PRETTY SMALL WORLD…
I SEE THAT JIMMY PASSED AWAY IN FEB 2018.
