Ralph Taeger(1936-2015)

As owner of Taeger's Firewood, his company underreported the payroll to the State Compensation Insurance Fund to avoid paying insurance premiums. Was arrested in 2003 for workers' compensation premium fraud.

I loved the money I was paid, but I never saved or invested any of it. I lived most of the time at a country club and never went near the studio unless I had to. The checks came in all the same. I didn't work at acting or making contacts. Then, all at once, it seemed to be over except for an occasional small part.
