>>>Because I never spoke to him, i kept silent. bUt in 1972 i called Walter Baldwin the original Floyd Lawson (God forbid) and a woman answered. She was most uncooperative.<<<
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that, Tom. This would certainly explain why Baldwin's involvement in TAGS was limited to one appearance. I had never before heard/read anyone else talk about the actor originally slated to play Floyd or why he was replaced. I'm sure Baldwin would have been competent in the role, but he never could have put the unique stamp on the show that Howard McNear did. What a blessing to us fans that Baldwin was ousted and McNear was given a shot to play our favorite barber! What wonderful comic moments he brought to us as Floyd!
