He's touring Japan with David Hasselhoff.

We could tell you but then we'd have to kill you.

Who is this Gunar fellow you are missing?

These guys will let you twist slowly in the wind.

Jim heard the call of the sound stage and chucked it all to pursue a career in the movies. Last we heard he was type cast as a biker/ drug addict in one and a stand in for ZZ Top in another. No classes, just pure method.

Jim stops by here about once a month and always has a few stories to tell. Rest assured he is doing just fine and still drives his 928.

He was interested in the remake of Risky Business - he can bring his own car.

Some how I'm imagining a documentary such as whathappenedtokerouac.com. Interviews with aging and muddled friends, clips of his own wild ramblings, etc.

He's doing stunt doubles for Tom Cruise. If you watch very closely, he was the actual guy swinging on the side of the building in that last Mission Impossible flick.

I heard he did Roger Moore's stunt double "running" scenes too.
