I've always liked Swayze, even when he was dancing and worked with Whoopi Goldberg (who grates on me like nails on a chalkboard) in Ghost:
Patrick Swayze became the latest actor to defend Mel Gibson, saying on Monday his friend was not anti-Semitic and that too much had been made of his controversial outburst blaming Jews for starting all wars.

Swayze was also a participant in one of the funniest Saturday Night Live skits of all time. Link.
