It's official, Tangled Up In Blue is the New James Bond Agent 007

New Castle Indiana -- One of the worst kept secrets in the entertainment industry is no longer a secret.

Tangled Up In Blue AKA Larry, a brown-eyed Prowler owner, is the new James Bond.

Prowler On Line, on Friday confirmed media reports that TUIB will replace Pierce Brosnan as the suave Indiana spy of the silver screen

Larry’s selection -- revealed by having the actor travel down an Indiana road driving a Tangelo Prowler, wearing Bond's trademark suit and dark glasses -- ends months of speculation over the role of agent 007.

Later, at a news conference in London, TUIB appeared to be at a loss for words about his new job. This has never happened before.

"It's something else, I can tell you, really," he said. I have wanted this part for years. I have been selling cigarettes to earn money to take acting lessons. It has paid off. I love everyone, and everyone loves me. I want to thank all my friends on the Prowler site, and my best friend AC.

TUIB added that his first reaction when told by producers was to say, "I need a drink, a smoke , and a hot woman."

Producers said last year that they were seeking a replacement for Pierce Brosnan, 52, who has played the suave British spy in the last four Bond films.

Rumored to have also been in the running were Fat Pat, AC, Larry Lord, Marty Usher and several other Prowler owners.
But after all the guessing, it was TUIB’s mother that let the cat out of the bag.

"Obviously we are thrilled to bits," his mother Gertrude told the Indiana Post newspaper on Thursday.

"It has come at a very good time in his career. He has worked extremely hard all his life and this would be his biggest populist role," she was quoted as saying. "It will be life-changing for him. No longer will he have to beg me for money and shelter”.

Larry, what ever age he is, appeared in the 1990s TV drama "The Life Of Larry" and in such films as "Prowler Fire," "Cars are Hot" and "Meat Loaf.”

He also played Mike Krehls son in "The Road to No Where," was poet Ted Hughes opposite Gwyneth Paltrow's Sylvia Plath in "Sylvia" and appeared in this year's thriller "The Straight Jacket" with OJ Simpson.

Larry’s personal life has also been a source of media attention. A little scary.

He has dated model Twinkie and has been linked to Jessica Hahn, his "Layer Cake" co-star and on-off fiancee of Anthony Hopkins.

and its all true !

I was also Bud Anderson on the "Father Knows Best" TV show....pictured recently with Elinor Donahue at her current home in Mayberry...

I had a short career as the 7th Beatle....I barely missed being shot at the Dakota...

appeared with my friend "Dirty Mary" in a cute little movie in 1974....wrecked my Dodge Charger in the last scene...

during the mid eighties, I spent several years as the personal assistant to Linda Vaughn...

since retirement, I have led a quiet life....I was billed as the "Human Tripod" during my last 20 years of acting roles...I know AC has a complete collection of my works....he uses them as educational material...

ps....Fat Pat wouldn't fit in the "Bond Kat"...Marty and Larry Lord were both deemed to old to be the latest Bond "Chic Magnet", Ed caused a terrible glare on the lens and Alley Cat was just to damned ugly to appear on camera....
