Sometimes the line between amazing adventures and certain death is a fine one
But Dave always reminded me of a guy named Race Bannon, who was the cartoon mentor for Jonny Quest.
It was one of my favorites, and Race Bannon was this blonde, larger than life father figure, um, for Jonny and Hadji, the two main characters in that cartoon.
Um, [laughs] but, you know, he's this really gregarious guy, one of the most gregarious personalities I've ever met.
He was always positive and opt- optimistic.
He was a morning person.
As soon as you saw him in the morning, he would say, "Good morning," and he was always smiling.
So basically, he was the alter ego for me, uh, the exact opposite of everything I embody, [laughs] especially first thing in the morning.
But together, we made a really great team, uh, probably the best boss...
Not even probably, the best boss I ever had.
