Timothy Van Patten

Timothy Van Patten plays Mario 'Salami' Pettrino on The White Shadow, a player inside a gym that becomes a social-drama classroom. A white ex-pro coaches a mostly Black Los Angeles high-school team; race, class, and teenage ego enter the locker room without frosting. Van Patten makes Salami specific — not a jersey extra, a Pettrino who treats the talk as a game. Sports television that actually talks.

He is Mario 'Salami' Pettrino on The White Shadow, ensemble weather the hour cannot skip. CBS ran the hour 1978–1981. s01e01 still introduces the temperature. The pilot puts Ken Howard's white ex-pro in a mostly Black Los Angeles gym. Paltrow's. The White Shadow never had to explain Van Patten; the hour just used him. CBS, 1978–1981. The White Shadow does not replace Van Patten with a different product at s03e01. Reunion (1) is a season-open about coming back. High-school basketball as memory and argument. He is still Mario 'Salami' Pettrino.

s01e05 plus s03e01 is enough map. Pregnant Pause is the social-drama classroom in a title. Sports television that actually talks. Reunion (1) is a season-open about coming back. High-school basketball as memory and argument. The White Shadow does not need a third invented show to file Timothy. Skip treating every week as equal. s01e05 is where Van Patten's temperature changes. Van Patten still belongs in the frame when s01e01 lands: The pilot puts Ken Howard's white ex-pro in a mostly Black Los Angeles gym. The White Shadow on CBS (1978–1981) keeps using him as Mario 'Salami' Pettrino.

On TV Flash he is 1970s craft: the Salami who photographs as a kid in shorts and plays as the reason the gym still has a roster, not only a lecture.
