Why Howard Duff, you ask? Why not?

I was riding BART one afternoon, and happened to sit across the aisle from a homeless guy - shopping cart full of "stuff", several layers of clothes, etc. We struck up a conversation, and it seems Roger was very well-versed in old black an white movies (as am I). Pretty surprising, really, as I don't really know many people that care for the old B&W's any more - at least not to the extent that I do. Anyway, we had a delightful discussion, and somewhere in the middle of it he said he thought I bore more than a passing resemblance to Howard Duff.

So there you go.
