I don't care what age he looks, he shouldn't be allowed to wear that.

Gavin MacLeod, aka Captain Stubing on The Love Boat. He was 90.

[raznomore]

@bovidae I spent a good amount of time watching the love boat as a kid. Didn't realise he was still around. He was obviously in a lots of different things but I remember him Peter Sellers "the party". A horribly racist movie that's fantastically funny and still has the house I aspire to own one day.
