TELE-FOLKS DIRECTORY - ANDY GORMAN





'RUN FOR YOUR LIFE'
"WHO'S WATCHING THE FLESHPOT?"

When Paul Bryan visited Port D'Or on the Riviera, he dropped in on his old friend Mark Shepherd at this tourists' agency.  He was hoping Shepherd would be able to find him a place to stay since the hotels in town were fully booked.  

According to the placards outside the office, Shepherd had an associate partner named Andy Gorman.  But Shepherd said that Gorman had gone home to the United States in order to get married.


We never saw Andy Gorman, so it's easy enough to claim any other Gorman character to be him - so long as the name is Andy or Andrew or just Gorman.  And we found him!

"Dallas"
Gorman
    - Fall of the House of Ewing (1987) TV episode, Played by Macon McCalman
    - Two-Fifty (1987) TV episode, Played by Macon McCalman


At the time he spent in Port D'or, this Gorman would have been the right age - in his thirties.  And whatever he was up to in 'Dallas' (something to do with the imminent collapse of Ewing Oil), it wouldn't conflict with his past life working with Mark Shepherd in Port D'Or.  He was already a blank slate to work with, and in twenty years anything could have happened.

By the way, his younger sister was Vera Louise Gorman who worked as a waitress in a diner just outside of Phoenix, Arizona.....

BCnU!
