But many years earlier “motherfucker” had become the au courant synonym for “buddy.” (“How ya doin’, motherfucker?”)ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt
  • When the lads were together, Green Day’s music was loud and raucous. When each character was alone and sang, he almost always crooned a ballad; away from those two other influences, only then did he dare to express his inner emotions that ranged from sensitive to scared.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt

What this page does not know

  • What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
  • Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
  • Birth or death year. Neither is on the record.
  • Which of the credits above the roles on this record — composer — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
