PEPPERMINT POWER

There are times when we are glad Fingers of Fury is keeping his day job. This, on a Dallas TV icon, is one of them. Favorite quote from 80-year-old Mr. Peppermint, on recently moonlighting in a film shot in Austin:

“…The description of the character says, ‘Skinny old man.’ It worked out OK. I had a good time. I was down there two days—got there the day before to learn how to string a raquet, so I could look legit. So I always have that to fall back on now.”
