Why does this week’s Finally Friday lineup feel like a film noir? I can see it now: Joe Pug’s a former prizefighter who turned to crime when his career tanked. Jake La Botz is a hard-bitten detective with secrets of his own who’s hot on his trail. But seriously, you won’t need extra drama with these guys on stage, virtually, for our weekly showcase.
Character actor Jack Kehler, a Philadelphia native who had iconic bit parts in "The Big Lebowski" and "The Last Boy Scout," died at 75 years old. Kehler's family said he died as a result of complications from leukemia. His most enduring role is the Coen Brothers' 1998 classic "The Big Lebowski," in which he played Marty, the landlord of Jeff Bridges' The Dude, and performed a modern dance quintet.
