wow! they're practically triplets! i'll bet if kate and jon were their parents, they'd-a been REALLY fucked up!
Who knew they had this in common? LOL!
Facinating study of these three men! I do believe Elvis could have been a great guest on the Andy Griffith show as well! Perhaps as Gomer's better looking cousin! I have a taste for a peanut butter and spam sandwich!
