Henry Zuckerman, credited as Buck Henry (born December 9, 1930), is an American actor, writer, film director, and television director. He has been nominated for an Academy Award twice, in 1968 for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Graduate and in 1979 for Best Director for Heaven Can Wait.
Henry was born in New York City, the son of silent film actress and star of the original Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Ruth Taylor, and Paul Steinberg Zuckerman (April 15, 1899 – 1965), a retired Air Force brigadier general and stockbroker.
Buck Henry attended The Choate School (now Choate Rosemary Hall) and Dartmouth College, where he met Bob Rafelson, and also worked on the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine. From 1959 to 1962, as part of an elaborate hoax by comedian Alan Abel, he pretended to be G. Clifford Prout, the quietly outraged president of the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals, who presented his point of view on talk shows.
Henry's dry humor attracted attention in the entertainment community. He became a cast member on TV programs such as The New Steve Allen Show (1961) and That Was The Week That Was (1964–65). He was a co-creator and writer for Get Smart (1965–70), with Mel Brooks. Two of his TV projects had short runs but are fondly remembered by fans: Captain Nice (1967) with William Daniels as a reluctant superhero, and Quark (1978), with Richard Benjamin in command of a garbage scow in outer space. He also played Dr. Victor Rudman, a fractile scientist who dated Murphy, on the "My Dinner With Einstein" episode (1989) of Murphy Brown.
John Franklin Candy (October 31, 1950 – March 4, 1994) was a Canadian actor and comedian, mainly in American films such as Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) and Uncle Buck (1989).
Candy rose to fame as a member of the Toronto branch of the Second City and its related Second City Television series, and through his appearances in such comedy films as Stripes, Splash, Cool Runnings, Summer Rental, The Great Outdoors, Spaceballs and Uncle Buck, as well as more dramatic roles in Only the Lonely and JFK. One of his most renowned onscreen performances was as Del Griffith, the loquacious, on-the-move shower-curtain ring salesman in the John Hughes comedy Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
While filming the Western parody Wagons East!, Candy died of a heart attack in Durango, Mexico, on March 4, 1994, aged 43. His final two films, Wagons East! and Canadian Bacon, are dedicated to his memory.
Candy was born in 1950 in Newmarket, Ontario. The son of Sidney James Candy and his wife Evangeline (Aker) Candy, he was brought up in a working class Roman Catholic family. Candy's father was of English and Scottish descent, while his mother was of Polish and Ukrainian descent.

http://www.uncabaret.com UnCabaret is a place for comedy luminaries to shine their brightest, and has been so for over 20 years. The LA Times dubbed Beth Lapides, host, producer, the “High Priestess” of ‘alternative comedy’. Meaning the revolution that reclaimed comedy as an art form, allowing for depth, meaning, even transcendence. But sparking the movement is one thing. Our commitment to fanning the flames, to continued reinvention is strong. Recently we were named one of the 5 Best Comedy Shows in LA by Los Angeles Magazine.

Trail camera video footage captured by Scott Root of a beautiful 40" inch monster buck deer from Utah's Henry Mountains.
If you could have told me
I wouldn't find my way back home
Never would have closed the door I
Never would have left the phone unplugged
All night
Waiting for the sunrise to take me out of here
Back to nowhere
Wish you could have told me
Who knows if I, could have heard
Love don't make the reasons why
Some people just don't find the words to convey
The truth
Of the passion that they're feeling
Why do I keep falling back?
Back to nowhere
Wishing you could hold me
Like you used to in the dark
Lay your body next to mine
But does it anywhere, does your star
Are you sure, you're fine
But in case it's me you're missing
You should know I'd gladly go
Back to somewhere
Back to anywhere
I go
