Mel Profitt. It'll be difficult for me to describe this character in this little block but I'll give it a try. Mel was very wealthy, very powerful and very fragile. Described as manic-depressive, he lived in the fast lane and called all the shots. He ran his "business" with his sister, Susan, played by Joan Severance. Together, they were a great team but without her, he literally could not function. There was always a hint of incest because they were so close. He depended on her for everything and she him. His mood swings would leave everyone around him devastated. He was evil, sexy and boyish all rolled into one timebomb ready to go off at the slightest hint of trouble. Now, I think I'll pop some popcorn, put in my "Wiseguy" tape and indulge myself in Kevin.
