Gary Tanguay is on WEEI now talking about Tommy Heinsohn's many interests. He even went to Hollywood with his buddy Chuck Connors and gave acting a try. He didn't like waiting in a trailer all day for his scene but liked drinking with Connors and Rodney Dangerfield according to Tanguay who crossed over from the Sports Media B List to the Hollywood B List with bit parts himself.

Love the thread title. A lot of you guys must remember ABC's The American Sportman hosted by Curt Gowdy. I happened to be watching one day when Bert Jones was the guest. Gowdy actually introduced him as, "Bert Jones, the great quarterback of the Baltimore Colts. He loves to hunt. He loves to fish. He's a real Renaissance man."
It took me a few moments to compose myself.
(btw, I'm not questioning Tommy's Renaissance credentials, merely that it reminded me of Curt.)

“ Leonardo rolled over”
What’s DiCaprio got to do with this?

And on top of his many talents Heinsohn was probably the most extroverted person who ever lived.

In his January 2019 speaking with his hoops colleagues for the viewing of Purple Reign, his quick wit was displayed, especially at the expense of teammate Togo.
