Freddie Info In Newsgroups - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

You may have heard of newsgroups which are discussion groups on the internet. (We need a newsgroup on Freddie!)

I did a search for him on newsgroups (using Google) & it came up with this info on him:

Jay Leno once said that Freddie Prinze, Sr. once wanted a hole in a wall of his apartment, so he fired about 300 bullets through the wall. Jay said it was in the type of neighborhood where nobody really paid much attention to this variety of renovation. If Freddi Jr. has any of that streak in him, he's definitely Hardcore.

Respectfully,

"Strange small world department": Prinze Sr.'s business manager, who discovered the body, was also the business manager of my boss in 1977. The business manager (Marv somethingorother) later turned out to be a crook, having absconded with $2 million of my boss's money.

Something of both. I liked Freddie Prinze, Sr. I think his son is
more talented (fsvo talent.) Certainly better looking. Of course,
Sr. was a comedian, whose personal life was somewhat tortured
("laugh, clown, laugh!") Jr. has shown true sparks of acting talent
in such early films as "House of Yes" and "To Gillian on Her 37th
Birthday". I haven't seen him since he became a big teensploitation
star.

I agree - Freddie Sr. was a fabulous comedian, he could sing and he could also act. So far we've only seen Freddie Jr. in an acting
scenerio (and he's good). Freddie Jr. has a sweet/handsome face with a great body where his dad had a mature/handsomeness and a terrific body. Both Prinzes were/are very talented young men. We all know where Freddie Jr. got his looks, talent and intelligence from!!! DAD!!!!!
