Okay, so I have a knack to spot the most random people in cinema of yore. I'm talkin' like Bill Moseley or "that one dude from Maverick".
Today, I was driving back from _________ and spotted an older gentleman standing on the corner of Sunset and some side street. I instantly recognized the guy, but thought "nah, probably not. Better be a weirdo and double check." So I drove around the block and up the street to make sure it was or wasn't the person I was thinking of. Certainly enough, it was him. The guy I'm referring to is Joe Dante, director of classic films of my growing up; "Gremlins", "The Howling", "The Burbs", Segment 3 from "The Twilight Zone: The Movie", "Innerspace", "The Explorers". Anyway, that's the type of celebrities that excite me. And that's the type of people that I can instantly recognize.
I've also seen the black guy from Predator (his name escapes me but he is indeed THE black guy from Predator), Jeff Garlin, and Elliot Gould.
I have a knack for these things, folks. Call it a gift. A gift to confuse the people with me when these random sightings occur.
If any of these names confuse you, it just makes me feel all the more amazing.

"Black guy from PREDATOR?" AKA Apollo Creed, Chubbs, Action Jackson, and himself in ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT? I'm having trouble believing that you, Todd Spence, could not arrive upon the name CARL WEATHERS.
