[About Billy "Whitey" Benedict from the Bowery Boys movies] I always liked him. We used to fish together and we used to go surf fishing, and one day I stubbed my toe on a rock. I was running out there in a real hurry to catch a sea bass and I stubbed my toe, and it really fascinated me at how interested he was. He wanted to take care of my toe, you know, fix it. Of course he couldn't because it was stubbed, but he really took a sincere interest in it and he taped it up or something. I don't know what he did. It was rather surprising because most times, guy stubs his toe, the other guy says 'that's too bad, you stubbed your toe, that's rough,' you know? I mean that's their attitude...very very nice person. Hide
