Then Came Tree - From out of the East, into the West...

 

"Then Came Tree." This classic TV action hit from the early 70's is fondly remembered by fans of Westerns, blaxploitation, and "chop-socky" movies everywhere. Combining elements of "Kung Fu," "Superfly," "Gunsmoke," and "F-Troop," it was a show like no other (except for "Kung Fu," "Superfly," "Gunsmoke," and "F-Troop").

Everyone remembers the set-up of the show, which followed an Afro-American pilgrim across the Old West of the United States in the late 1800's. Left on the steps of a Buddhist Temple by a runaway British slave and minstrel show banjo player, Tree was raised as a poor Chinese child in the temple, where he was trained in the arts of Kung Fu, Fung Shui, Zen philosophy, pan flute, stir-fry cooking, and quality dry cleaning.

Actor Larry Thomas has appeared in films like Hyacinth, Surface to Air, and Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. He's also appeared on TV shows like Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Caroline in the City, and Grace Under Fire. But he will always be remembered for his most famous role: THE SOUP NAZI !
(Did we mention he's in "BachelorMan"?)

We're recommended in the April issue of Mademoiselle, page 70 (after the Chris Rock interview.) Ain't we cool?
