I am forever indebted to the late Joe Liles for so much that he shared with me about Jim as I researched the book. This commercial and some of the early Sgt. Glory commercials are just some of the priceless items he shared with me. From the picture that became the cover of my book, and so much history about Jim that only he knew, Joe was truly invaluable. I'm sorry I was not able to meet him in person before he passed in 2016. | The Importance of Being Ernest: The Life of Actor Jim Varney
