Happy 76th birthday to G.W. Bailey! We loved G.W. as “Lt. Harris” in Police Academy as well as “Felix” in Mannequin! G.W. has been in many fantastic films throughout the years and always turns out a memorable performance! Btw, just want to point out that this is the second time Runaway has popped up this week in birthday shoutouts! Time to rewatch! 😂 What’s your favorite G.W.B movie/tv/role? ❤️📼❤️ • •• ••• #gwbailey #actor #birthday #vhs #vcr #videostore #movies #80spodcast #podcast #80s #90s #michaelcrichton #runaway #tomselleck #policeacademy #mannequin #andrewmccarthy #kimcattrall #comedy https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZSKbFlq_l/?igshid=1bbx3ye0nnf3k

Unforgettable: My Favorite Character Actors
Tumblr media
G.W. Bailey (1944- ) Taking a page from my post about Vincent Gardenia comes another love letter to a similarly curmudgeonly actor that I hoped to emulate in adulthood – the one and only G.W. Bailey. Once again my attraction and curiosity towards a unique supporting performer began at a young age. Thanks to HBO and lenient parents, I watched the R-rated Police Academy (1984) at roughly the age of 10 or 11. I loved it. Rather than root for and enjoy the sassiness of Steve Guttenberg or the sound effects of Michael Winslow, I found myself much more amused and impressed with the actor playing the mean and irritable Lt. Harris. There was a bitchiness and arrogance to his character that I found really, really hilarious. Plus I really enjoyed his voice with its twang (G.W. was born in Texas) and tendency to suddenly start shouting. Typical to any cartoonish authority figure, it was fun to watch him get one-upped and foiled by Mahoney and his friends.
And, for some strange reason, I wanted to BE this type of personality. I have no idea where that desire came from or why I aspired to act like a grumpy old man, but when my friends and I played superheroes or make-believe in the backyard, I wanted to be a Lt. Harris-type. Maybe it just stemmed from wanting to make people laugh. I mean, it’s much more fun to play the villain, isn’t it? A few years later, in 1987, a magical event occurred – Mannequin was released to the joy of millions. I noticed a familiar face in the commercials. It was Lt. Harris! Once again G.W. was playing a comic and cranky authority figure, though a bit dumber this time. As before, I loved it and found that I had an actual name to place with this particular brand of character. G.W. was really busy in the 1980s applying his distinctive style of crabby authority to a variety of films like Runaway (1984), Short Circuit (1986) and Burglar (1987). I was delighted when he returned to the Police Academy franchise in Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol (1987). FYI - G.W.’s best and funniest performance is in the fifth installment, Assignment: Miami Beach (1988) – here he’s able to break away from the rigid institution of the academy setting and be humiliated in bars, hotels and on the beach. My favorite role of G.W. Bailey is in the underrated Western spoof, Rustlers’ Rhapsody (1985), directed by Hugh Wilson of Police Academy fame. It’s here where he was able to make a departure from playing the grump to having the opportunity of being the friendly and loyal sidekick to Tom Berenger. A great and really funny movie that I wish more people were aware of. For more info on G.W. Bailey, please check out this fantastic interview from A.V. Club.

Mannequin (1987)
In today's review I sculpt the woman of my destiny. As I attempt a #positive review of the 1987 classic Mannequin #AndrewMcCarthy #KimCattrall #EstelleGetty #JamesSpader #GWBailey #MeshachTaylor #CaroleDavis #SteveVinovich #ChristopherMaher #PhyllisNewman
It is often said love can stand any obstacle, including time. Your mileage may vary. But it is a comforting philosophy to believe in, while it makes a lot of money in the entertainment and art industries, and in many cases, it does happen. In 1987, in an attempt to craft a film that would be a surefire hit for approximately 50% of the population. M.G.M. crafted a perfect love story, about a…
