#30: Gustavo Fring, Breaking Bad
Born: Unknown, but the actor was born in 1958
Died: October 9, 2011
If dictionaries had photos in place of definitions, Gus
Fring’s pic would sit next to the word “professionalism.” Vocabulary perusers should bear in mind,
however, that if they cross this owner of Los Pollos Hermanos, they might as
well search for the word “afterlife,” as Gustavo can, and will, become bitterly
ruthless if he must. Breaking Bad was such an amazing series that nobody
watching would dare wander from their sets without hitting pause first;
however, if they did they certainly would not do so when Gus was in the scene.
Most defining moment: Gus poisons himself and over a dozen
of his most hated enemies, then goes to the men’s room. He methodically takes off
his suit, delicately folds and places it on the counter, then vomits the poison
drink into the commode. He puts the suit back on, then returns to watch his
longtime foe bite the dust in agonizing pain.
Born: 1925
Where he is now: Retired
Over 50 years ago Robert Petrie was the JFK of TV. Women
loved him. Men wanted to be him. A successful writer for the Alan Brady Show in
Manhattan, Rob was beloved by audiences as the show enjoyed their long reign at
#1 for years. Interesting trivia fact: do you know the connection between the
Dick Van Dyke Show and the Big Bang Theory? Just google “the producer and
director of the Dick Van Dyke Show” and see for yourself.
Most defining moment: Tripping over a goat on a mountain while skiing and "spraining his body"
Born: 1974-76
Where he is now: being a surprisingly devoted father to his daughter
The last words that his uncle told him before he left were
"Never stop partying". Throughout his childhood, Barney was
constantly lied to by his mother to protect his feelings; for example Barney
was told by his mother that he couldn't play basketball because he was too good
and it wasn't fair for the other kids, but in reality his coach didn't want him
on the team. Barney was also not a popular child and was always picked on. In
the seventh grade, Barney was being picked on by Matthew Panning, who was
bragging about how he had sex with 100 girls. In response, Barney told Matthew
Panning that he would one day sleep with 200 girls, a promise he fulfills.
Because Barney grew up in the city, he never learned how to drive.
