Punching Bag Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I thought at time like his partner on show he was a good actor who should get more roles. My uncle who served in Japan post WWII died from it; in his later years he barely could talk but I could understand him unlike others.

Wacka Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Michael McKean and he developed the Lenny and Squiggy bits at Carnegie Mellon U acting classes where they met in 1965. I think those bits got them noticed by Gary Marshall and cast in L&S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I used to spot David Lander a lot in animation His most memorial role in animation was in "Who framed Roger Rabbit?" There were a lot of good actors in that film and many actors were happy to get bit parts just to be in the film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096438/characters/nm0005581 Quote Eddie Valiant : I'm through with taking falls / And bouncing off the walls / Without that gun, I'd have some fun / I'd kick you in the... [bottle falls on his head] Roger Rabbit : Nose! Smart Ass : Nose? That don't rhyme with "walls." Eddie Valiant : No, but this does. [kicks Smartass in the crotch, propelling him into a vat of Dip] And I understand he was involved in baseball as a scout: https://ballparkdigest.com/2020/12/05/in-memoriam-david-lander/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
