    ...who both appeared together in the same MGM film in the 1970s (I was also rated in the world's top 10 at one time). Who am I?

    Thanks guys!

    I thought of Joe Miceli, because I knew him very well and when he died, I gave the eulogy at his wake.

    I then thought of Charlie Norkus, and found out that both Archie Moore and Roland LaStartza played in 'The Outfit' and Charlie when the distance with both of them, beating LaStarza.

    Now, I have to tell you that I know Charlie Norkus Jr. very well and last month he gave me his fathers scrap book to look at, so I was really up on him. After I sent in the answer, I received an E-Mail from Charlie Jr., asking me to call him, so I did. I then told him the question, and he didn't know the answer. When I told him that the answer was his father, he went wild, saying that is amazing.

    I guess there right when they say that it's a small world.
