I thought of something much shorter AND obscure.
Johnny Whitaker was in Sigmund and The Sea Monsters with Billy Barty who was in UHF with Al.
So there. Good job though.

I'm not sure that two links instead of three qualifies as "much" shorter, but OK. Gooder job though.

Hume Cronyn, anybody?

Wilfrid Hyde-White was in The Toy with Scott Schwartz, who got a mention in the Then and Now segments that Al did on I Love the '80's. Al said that he went from being a child star to a porn star. Then he said "Way to go, Scott." :lol:

Tim Robbins
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

hehe, just a little side-note: Kevin, when Adrian put his name at the bottom of his post, he wasn't giving a celebrity clue. But you went with it anyway, and did great!

Really? Wow. 5 minutes digging on IMDB really pays off. (I got the Sigmund one because Billy Barty played my favorite character, Sigmund the Sea Monster.)

Scott Schwartz is apparently trying to leave the porn industry (because he wasn't very successful there-- how bad do you have to be to tank as a porn actor??) and get back into mainstream movies. Since the one he did in 2003 also starred Joey Buttafuoco and RuPaul, apparently the climb back to respectability doesn't happen in one step. :ph34r:
