I noticed something the other day that I thought would make a slightly interesting trivia challenge. A certain star of a current TV series has previously in their career portrayed two different comic actors in biographical movies. Any guesses?
Standard prize, as usual – i.e. nothing but a virtual pat on the back.
Heh...didn't mean to ruin the weekend, Jay! But for some reason, Chiklis has always "stuck out" in my mind, because when I heard that he had been chosen to portray Belushi, I was just confused...at the time, I had no idea why anyone would ever WANT to make a movie about Belushi, given his very brief career and drug-addled death.
And the name "Chiklis" always makes me, well, giggle.

I think it's Michael Chikli... (Below threshold)1. Posted by david | June 19, 2004 7:03 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
I think it's Michael Chiklis, of "The Shield." He portrayed John Belushi in "Wired," and also Curly in a Three Stooges bio-pic.
Yes?

Damn, why is it every time I try to prove how clever I am, it lasts less than a couple hours? Even when I do it in the middle of the night?
Yeah, it's Michael Chiklis, of "Wired," "The Three Stooges," "The Commish," "Daddy-o," and "The Shield" fame.
Congrats, David. You've absolutely RUINED my weekend.
(grumble grumble)
