Cute Couple

Peter Schade (left) and Thomas Parks at AMG.  I have other photos of Thomas as Tom posted to this blog.  The tattoo confirmed for me they are the same guy.  

Monkey Business

Tom Parks (who Mizer said was lazy and recalcitrant) bends over Joe Manning in a still photo from the AMG film Monkey Business.  I'll spare you the plot details, but in the end the two guys wrestle on the floor.  Quelle surprise!  

The blurb at the bottom of this photo told us Joe, along with his brothers John and Jim, were not available for any additional work at this time.  Allow me to translate: All three of them were locked up in the LA county jail at the time of this publication.  Quelle surprise! 

That Telephone Guy -- A Correction

Last week I posted the top photo in this group of photos and claimed it was a hot vintage photo of a real Pac Bell repairman.  I even thought of the AMG movie Lineman Ring My Chimes and mentioned it in the post. 

Well as the saying goes, right church, wrong pew.  It is indeed an AMG photo.  That's Tom Parks from the AMG film The Telephone Lineman.  The other two photos confirm the origin of the first post.  Click Tom's label to see more.  

I like when I make a mistake and then discover how my wires got crossed.  Crossed wires?  I made a pun.  😀

Double Trouble

Tom Parks (left) and Bob Wilson pose before their wrestling match on the AMG mats. 

I've already told you Wilson would often miss appointments at AMG and that did not sit well with Bob Mizer.  Tom Parks would make his appointments, but quickly get "tired" and want to take a break or call it a day.  MIzer said Tom was one the most difficult models he ever had on the set. 

Shore Patrol 2

Another photo of the handsome cast of the AMG film Shore Patrol.  From the left: Doug Bogen, Tom Parks and Bob Johnson.  All three of these models did several films for AMG in the early 1960s.

Shore Patrol (Update)

From the left: Doug Bogen, Tom Parks and Bob Johnson (sigh) in a couple of stills from the AMG film Shore Patrol.  The film was released in the early 1960s and was heavily promoted in several publications. 

This is the first of two models named Bob Johnson who posed for AMG -- and my favorite of the two.  Sharp-eyed followers will notice Tom is wearing a nearly see-though brief, leaving little to the imagination.  Quite risque for Mizer in the early 1960s.

The Telephone Lineman

Tom Parks is the lineman in the AMG film The Telephone Lineman.  Tom gets a look at Larry Cotrell's big basket (of fruit) and decides he wants some for himself.  

Both guys did several films for AMG back in the early 1960s.
