RIP Tommy.
P.S. I heard on the coconut wireless that you wanted to talk to me Mister Mike. I just sent you an IMDb private message that you can respond to.
Man, all the great ones are passing away. Soon they will all be but a memory. Tommy Fujiwara was easily my favorite of the old Five-O stock actors! You just can't get enough of that infectious wide grin of his. Never seen nothing like it!! It didn't look like he knew how to be anything but happy.
He was great in all his performances but I think "One Born Every Minute" definitely stands out!!
RIP Tommy, bruddah.
Connery, Moore, and Brosnan! Accept NO substitutes!
I just saw Tommy in two third season episodes, "The Last Eden" and "Beautiful Screamer." He enjoyed a big role in the first as Eddie the manager.
I will always remember Tommy's expressive face, like in the scene in "Last Eden" where he was conflicted, wanting to tell his old friend Jimmy the truth but just couldn't bring himself to do it. And later after he packs his bags and has a wide grin that drops as he realizes what's about to happen. What a memorable character and actor!
His part in "Beautiful Screamer" was small, but at least he got to enjoy a Mr. Softee ice cream cone--hand delivered by the beautiful Laraine Stephens--before meeting his fate.
Here's trusting God's comforting presence will be felt by his family, friends, and fans.
