I think it was Christopher Guest who, imitating Mason being presented with a fish, said "A gift from Neptune? I'm surprised he didn't bring it himself" and hit the presenter with the fish.<br /><br />Then the announcer (probably Harry Shearer) said, "Watch A.D... they hit each other with fish!"Greg Ehrbarhttp://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/category/animation-spin/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-52248378477681232502014-07-09T20:47:00.396-07:002014-07-09T20:47:00.396-07:00The James Mason/Chipmunks album cover may have bee...The James Mason/Chipmunks album cover may have been a fake, but this wasn't...James Mason once did a commercial for Thunderbird wine back when he was really hurting for cash.<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xY7mBQrzXUJ.B.
