My great uncle voiced Pongo in the One Hundred and One Dalmations
So it just happens that out my great uncle was the voice of Pongo (Rod Taylor). I never thought I would have someone like him be in my family. It's a shame that I didn't know who he was until after his death but because I myself, am an aspiring actor and trying to get to Hollywood one day, I think this just gave me the boost I need.
I want to know, anyone here a fan of Rod himself or the movie? Last edited by Fishface; 05-22-2018 at 12:14 AM. |

101 Dalmations was the first movie I ever watched. It was "Doggy movie" for some time. I still have a Dalmatian toy I got for Christmas around that time. And used to have so, so many McDonalds toys.
So it holds a special place in my heart. Now it's even more special; Tibbs is best cat. He was going to save all those puppies, even if it meant he had to die trying to do so. What a trooper. It's so cool that you have this in your family history. How did you learn?

I can’t really recall how I found out but I do remember the day it happened. Coincidentally, I was coming home from a film shoot that day that I was an extra in. He has really inspired me to become an actor. It’s tough to get to Hollywood but who know, if he got there, I KNOW I can get there one day. Who knows, if I’m rich enough, I’ll make a GOOD TMNT reboot film.
