I fired up my daily recording of City Confidential and noticed something different. Instead of seeing a photo, a pan of a city, or a murder scene, I saw a friendly man in a sound booth talking to me, telling me it's the 100th episode of the show. This is Paul Winfield. ! I had always imagined Paul to be a perverted old white man, severely obese from hiding his perversions of pedophelia, necrophelia, whatever else a disgusting and evil old man could be thinking, by stuffing his face with ribs, mashed potatoes with the works, corn bread, pie, and Bourbon. Paul Winfield fits none of these prejugdgements. Turns out that I've admired his acting ability in many movies and television shows, I just didn't know his name. Do you recognize Paul?
How about if you see his
IMDb portfolio? Yah, you know him too, don't you! From this day forth I will no longer think that the narrator of City Confidential (up until he died in Winter of 2004) is a perverted old man who gets a rise out talking about rape and muder...

I love that show too! Yes i knew it was him but i STILL couldn't get out of my mind that it was some old creepy white man. I always thought God if i was married to him i would never let him to talk to me!lmao
We are seriously connected. I love that show - and his voice makes it all the better.
I love too that he gets to say hilarious/punny things on a very serious show, like "there were more drunks in New Haven than beer cans in the parking lot at the mall." I'm like, what? Paul? Who writes this stuff . . . AND I LOVE IT!
Thanks for your *awesome* comment on my blog!
TL - James Earl Jones. I love his voice, I want to eat it for lunch sometimes.
Renee - Glad I'm not the only one who thought PW was a pervy old white man.
Kris - you deserve the compliment. :)
