Bb3fan | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:29 pm     This may be a photo of Roddy's father? http://www.ccm.edu/trustees/Mancuso.htm I'm positive I heard Roddy say his dad's name is Peter. From a couple of Google searches, I found out that a Peter V. Mancuso is a Trustee for County College of Morris. Isn't Roddy from Morristown, New Jersey? That this same Mancuso was a former mayor in a town near Morristown? A mention in this news story from 1995: http://www.newstimes.com/archive95/149/nah.txt Same fellow also seems to be involved with The Morris Museum http://www.morrismuseum.org/general.htm as the chairman of the museum board. Maybe Roddy does come from a wealthy family as other people have speculated? |
Twistedsis | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:42 pm     Gee so that was probally just another attempt to dunp Kiki with the 'bye I'm poor' line after she stated she only dated rich guys ...... |
Jaysgal | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:03 pm     Naah, I don't think that that's Roddy's dad. Peter is too young in actual age to be Roddy's father. He does look old, but he isn't old enough is actual age to be Roddy's father. I thought that I read somewhere that Roddy's father works for CBS (or NBC) or something like that. Was I dreaming? From all I have read, it is obvious that Roddy's from at least a middle-class family, if not a well to do family. It wouldn't matter either way to me. |
Goddess146 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:16 pm     Roddy's father (according to Roddy on the live feeds) is wall street stock trading specialist. He told Chiara that his father was the specialist that handled the stock for Ash's company. |
Scorpiomoon | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:16 pm     I've heard Roddy say his dad has been on MSNBC etc. He's one of those guys--and "expert" on the stock exchange and comes in as a talking head to discuss what is currently going on. When I did a Google search, I found: "Peter Mancuso, a New York Stock Exchange member of Performance Specialist Group,..." Roddy has spoken several times about his father being a stock broker. He's not an educator as the Peter Mancuso Bb3fan found is. Sorry. I couldn't find a photo of Roddy's dad. |
Theo17 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:19 pm     I watch cnbc every day from 6am-4pm and have never seen the guy. I'm a trader and have been for 11 years. He could be a nyse floor specialist but they rarely have time to talk to cnbc. Really the only nyse floor specialist that talks to cnbc is a guy named art cashin. A heavy old guy from prudential |
Theo17 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:22 pm     a broker is not a floor specialist. A broker is a guy in an office that buys and sells for retail or commericaisl. a floor specialist is a person on the fllor that matchs up buy and sell orders to try and keep the trading in balance. when you get out of balance meaning too many buys or too many sells a stock has to be halted for a while to try and even out the orders. |
Nermal | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:22 pm     Yes, he's a broker, but also was the mayor a few years ago, Roddy said. |
Cathie | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:50 pm     It is possible that this could be Roddy's father. A trustee of a school is not necessarily an educator. Many trustees are prominent business people in their community. From this photo (which is undated as far as I can see) he appears to be around 45-50, so could indeed be the right age to have fathered Roddy 30 years ago (especially if the photo is several years old.) I'm not totally sold on this, but the possibility is there IMO. |
Max | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:51 pm     This is RUMOR and SPECULATION. And, again I have to ask...Why do you care? What could finding information about Roddy's father (and I must point out, this person might not be him) have to do with THE GAME?

Theo17 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:55 pm     I dont know who roddys father is but in the movie luke and princess leia turn out to be his kids |
Cameltoes | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:57 pm     Oh Theo - you continue to crack me up. LOL |
Cyn | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:00 pm     the information is interesting cause it shows the motivation and direction of where the HG has come from. it allows us to see the personality of the HG a bit more. of course, it doesn't matter and it's an invasion of privacy almost. however, the strategizing is cool and all; but, i also get a kick out of looking at each of them in a total clinical psychological kind of way. this type of stuff explains the foundation of their childhood and allows one to see the HG clearer. well, maybe... |
Theo17 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:02 pm     lol cameltoe just trying to laugh because jason has me so miserable. I'm at a point where i'm just praying roddy doesnt get the vote ate the end and gets 50k which is like 35k after taxes. |
Max | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:02 pm     Please remember that there are probably many people named Richard or Peter Mancuso. Just because you find information on someone with that name doesn't mean you've located info about Roddy or his dad. This public service announcement brought to you from out of the blue just because I wanted to say it. |
Mystery | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:03 pm     Oh but Theo, after Roddy's screenplay is made into a movie I'm sure he'll be in a MUCH higher tax bracket! |
Dagny | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:03 pm     Max...of course this is RUMOR AND SPECULATION...but Roddy mentioned HIS BIG SECRET...and I think people are trying to figure out what Roddy's big secret is. Mainly, I would like to know what Roddy is (degree in what?), besides a writer. And Gerry's "crocodile dundee" comment really makes a person want to know more. It's human nature to want to know.. Sorry.. I also want to know if Gerry made that up. (crocodile dundee) |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:05 pm     That picture of Peter Mancuso from the link in the top post has an active email link on the page....if everyone is so curious, why doesn't someone email the guy and ask him? :-) |
Maesin | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:06 pm     I believe Peter is the name of one of Roddy's brothers. He was talking about them in a hockey story, and I think he is Roddy's oldest sibbling. The story had something to do when Roddy was about nine and he said the oldest was 16 or 17 at that point. Did anyone else hear this convo, I think it was yesterday morning/afternoon. |
Theo17 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:09 pm     no offense but I wouldnt put it past roddy to lie about his dad. most thes people no longer live where they said or work where they said. josh was working in la when he met merrit. he had moved from my was wasnt a waiter anymore. |
Amac | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:18 pm     Just to add my 2 cents to this thread I found the following at morristown.com: Author Jessica Date 7/22/2002 @ 19:34 Subject Roddy Mancuso Does anybody know this hottie from Big Brother 3? Hes from Morristown!!! Author Lisa Date 8/8/2002 @ 16:52 Subject Roddie Yes,he is very nice. Author david Date 8/11/2002 @ 19:26 Subject Roddie dont watch Big Brother but believe I grew up with this kid. Havent seen him in 20 years but he sure did grow up. He is one of the Mancusos from Morristown political fame. He was the little kid who tagged along with the big kids. Not a cut on him but more the fact that most of the kids in the neighborhood were older. Most family members are Big Hockey freaks. Author Shawn O Date 8/22/2002 @ 14:19 Subject Roddy Mancuso I grew up playing hockey with Roddy. Yes he has matured a ton!!!!! Doing well in the show and we are rooting for him to win |
Floresmama | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:24 pm     Theo - Roddy lie you must be kidding. Has Roddy ever given you a reason to think he would ever lie. You must be mistaken!!!! JK - LOL |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:26 pm     This will be moved to the outside the house area later tonight, since Roddy's dad is not inside the house. |
Minnietlm63 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:27 pm     Roddy has a brother name Peter. |
