Since Gill selected Kenny Rogers as his Celebrity Birthday of the Day simply as an excuse to show a classic scene from The Big Lebowski, I thought I’d also use it as an excuse to take a look at Mr. Rogers’ brief foray into acting in a not-so-classic film named Six Pack. When I was a very young boy, I remember watching this silly 1982 comedy, which starred Kenny as a race car driver who winds up being a surrogate father for six orphaned kids. This would be the first and last attempt to try and turn Kenny Rogers into a movie star, but the film did feature some notable young talent as two of the orphans were played 17-year old Diane Lane and a pre-John Hughes 14-year old Anthony Michael Hall. In this scene, Kenny and his young orphan friends manage to outrun a wacky pair of bumbling Southern cops, so you should pretty much get the idea what type of movie Six Pack is.
