I'll always remember him as Jeff Spicoli's classroom pizza delivery man. RIP.

Punchline:

It's crazy what is stored deep in your memory. I remember seeing him on "The Dating Game" and he was ID'd as an actor. He didn't get picked, of course, and I immediately thought that goofy-looking SOB had no chance of being a successful actor. And for the last 40 or so years I'd recall that every time he popped up on something I was watching. First time I saw "Fast Times ..." I said, there's that goofy-looking SOB from "The Dating Game."

Was Rodney Dangerfield's son-in-law (and Jennifer Jason Leigh's husband) in "Easy Money."

 

[Sea Bass]

First role I thought of him in too. Weird, I was just thinking about that movie the other day.

I think he was also in One Crazy Summer, a very underrated John Cusack/Demi Moore 80's flick.

Good job remembering that one.

I probably shouldn't threadjack an RIP thread, but what happened to Savage Steve Holland? He directed back-to-back 80s comedy classics, Better Off Dead and One Crazy Summer, then has been mostly directing episodes of kids' shows ever since.

In 1982 he was hardly a star, so I want to know how he pulled off "Taylor Negron .... Himself" in the Fast Times at Ridgemont High credits.

 

[Riptide]

Still wondering how Chuck Negron managed to outlive cousin Taylor.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

He's the tough guy villian in the greatest action movie of 1991!

[Elliotte Friedman]

Very good in the truly underrated "Young Doctors in Love"

He was on Jay Mohr's podcast a few weeks ago. It was just reposted this morning. Really interesting stuff.

RIP

Seems I have some acquaintances who were good friends of this guy and say he was one of the nicest people in the world. I think the comedic community is a very tight-knit group. RIP

Just based on hearing him on a podcast, he seemed like a very thoughtful, caring person.
