View Full Version : A young Glenn Beck was an extra on CHEERS. Who knew? AKA 01-03-2011, 05:23 PM DUn-bixAI6w chipsaugratin 01-04-2011, 01:31 PM Who gives a ----? Now, Keenan Ivory Wayans had an actual line of dialogue from the cold opener of the 2nd episode of the series in 1982, possibly his first acting job, years before "In Living Color". old grouch 01-04-2011, 01:37 PM Is that really Glenn Beck??? It kind of looks like him, but it's hard to tell. Zoneboy 01-04-2011, 01:39 PM Who gives a ----? That's really uncalled for, just because it doesn't interest you that don't mean the same for anyone else. AKA 01-04-2011, 02:33 PM Who gives a ----? I do! I'm not a Glenn Beck fan, but I think it's kind of neat that he turned up in an episode or two. chipsaugratin 01-05-2011, 10:05 AM My point is every episode had at least a dozen uncredited extras without a single line of dialogue. Is somebody going to attempt to identify each and every one who later became famous? Or just the ones who now have political notoriety? Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) was an extra without dialogue on one episode. I already mentioned Keenan Ivory Wayans. Do either of them have a thread on this board? For that matter, I wouldn't mind a general thread about young actors and actresses who had bit parts or were extras and what they did later in their careers. Example : Brenda Strong was Sam's date in 1 episode; she later played the deceased narrator in "Desperate Housewives." Glenn Beck (to quote Rebecca Howe from the series finale) means about as much to me as a rat's patootie, especially because I am Canadian. If a thread was created with his name in the title, is there also a political agenda at work? Pardon me if his "thespianism" excites me not. catlover79 01-05-2011, 11:02 AM It's kind of hard to tell, but if it really is him - COOL!!! :cool: AKA 01-05-2011, 01:25 PM Keenan Ivory Wayans was in an early episode, and I believe he at least one line of dialogue. Kevin Sorbo (I honestly had no idea he was in an episode until I read your post), according to Wikipedia, already had a few TV credits under his belt before he appeared. Both were aspiring actors. I find Glenn Beck's appearance interesting because he wasn't an actor, and was a good dozen or more years away from any kind of "fame." As for your accusing me of having a political agenda: not sure why I'm even defending myself, but if you knew me, you'd know I enjoy Glenn Beck (and his ilk) almost as much as I enjoy a good root canal without novocaine. markaleen 02-10-2011, 12:24 AM That's pretty interesting! |
