Peter Fonda could really chuck a peach...!


Just watched "The Return of Verge Likens" and enough has been expressed about the
excellent quality of this episode (which I echo)--Something else that impressed me in the course of the episode was the Randy Johnson-like form that Peter Fonda exhibited in a scene where he was called upon to grab peach after peach from a basket on a truck and energetically hurl them at a café where he'd just had a bad experience (Btw there is no doubt that it IS him doing the throwing)--Henry Fonda never came across to me as an overly athletic type and if you were to try and name some Hollywood stars that might possess athletic talent I'm betting Peter Fonda would be waaay down on the list--but besides showing the form worthy of the Big Unit he was also really bringing it with some serious gas--I'm thinking he must have played a little in school...

He did seem to know a bit about pitching! Love this episode. I have always felt that he is talented.... athletic? Yes.
actor? Yes.
