    Tommy "Tiny" Lister, who played Deebo in the "Friday" movies, was found dead in his apartment at age 62.
    Also had a short-lived WWE stint in the late 80s and a small part in The Dark Knight.
    He got knocked the fuck out for good.
    RIP to a great character actor.

    For me, he was Zeus and nothing but Zeus.

    Same here.

    Like I said on the wrestling thread, I was an older teen in the late 80s and the WWF’s cheesiness was starting to annoy me, but I found the Zeus character to be pretty intriguing. RIP.

    Hundred percent. Any public appearances otherwise were governed by his turn as Zeus.

    I reveled in his appearance in “The Dark Knight.”

    Where did First and 10 land on HBO's All Time Shows list? Loved Bubba, Jethro and Dr. Death. OJ kinda ruined it - imho - even before that "other" thing.
