MONK 1x08 “Mr. Monk and the Other Woman"

[the-mediaeval-monk]

Hey! Thanks so much for sharing that list of monastic-themed fiction. Would you mind also sharing some good non-fiction titles on monastic masculinity? (I saw in one of your posts that it was a topic in your dissertation.) It doesn’t have to be exhaustive, just something for an introduction or maybe some titles you personally like. Thanks a lot!

Charles Carroll

Here we have character actor Charles Carroll, I assume unknown to most Tumblr members. He has appeared in films and TV since 1987 in the movie Robocop and as of now has 49 credits. Charles started as a chubby man, got very big and in 2009 started losing weight and has kept it off.

The above photos are from a small role in Robocop, 1987.

The next 2 photos are from TV Movie, Murder of Innocence in 1993 with Valerie Bertinelli.

The next 3 photos are from an episode of Melrose Place in 1994.

The next 3 photos are from the Johnny Depp, Christopher Walken movie, Nick of Time in 1995.

The above 4 photos are from The Last Days of Frankie the Fly with Dennis Hopper in 1996.

Notice he continues to get fatter with every film. (Which I think looks so good on him in this film.)

The above 2 photos are from TV show Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction in 1997.

These 2 photos are from a small part in the 2002 movie The Salton Sea. (probably a larger role that was whittled away in editting.)

The above 4 photos are from Two for the Money with Matthew McConaughey and Al Pacino in 2005.

The above 2 photos are from the film Eagle Eye in 2008.

These 4 photos are from an episode of Monk in 2008. I don't like posting photos like the last but it best shows how big Charles Carroll got before he started losing weight in 2009. Besides you know Monk, shoots first and asks questions later. ;)

The first photo is Charles Carroll as Santa Claus in an episode of NCIS in 2008 and the next is from Nip/Tuck in 2009 and there is a noticeable difference in weight. Most people were probably telling him how great he looked. I never say that because I never believe it to be true. But I will congratulate on the weight loss anyway because it is good for the health. Anyway, Charles continued to lose weight and now looks nothing like he did back when he started.
