Matisse - Nasty neurotic forty-two-pound, black-and-white Scottish border collie featured on the sitcom DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS/FOX/1987. Matisse lived in the sumptuous Beverly Hills mansion of millionaire Dave Whiteman, (Hector Elizondo) a successful clothes hanger manufacturer. Matisse was owned and trained by Clint Rowe who first found Mike at a ranch in Northern California. Matisse has one blue-eye, one floppy ear and can perform hundreds of tricks.  Played by Mike the Dog, Matisse first appeared in the feature film version of the series Down and Out In Beverly Hills (1985). Mike is a veteran of a number of commercial including spots for Toyota and Doublemint Chewing Gum. Mike also appeared in Little Richard's music video "Great Gosh a' Mighty,  It's a Matter of Time." You can also find Mike's paw prints (as of February 1986) in the cement sidewalk at the Tail O' the Pup, a famous Hollywood restaurant shaped like a large hotdog. Mike, now deceased, was also the cohost of the very last PATSY Awards (defunct as of 1986) and the TV movie Spot Marks the X (1987).
