From 'The Big Ragu' to Obscurity: What the Heck Happened to Eddie Mekka??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I know he had a DUI a couple of years ago, but really, the former Camine from Laverne & Shirley has dropped off the face of the earth. He is doing musicals in small towns, a big difference for Eddie. Was he just typecast badly or was he truly sick and tired of the TV grind? What happened to Eddie Mekka???

He was doing a lot of theater at one time. He was even touring with Cindy Williams in I believe a remake of "Grease" or something like that.

In 2009 he toured with Cindy with "Kong's Night Out" as well as another play. I can't imagine that he's someone who would still be getting substantial offers for TV and film roles.

Put him on DANCING WITH THE STARS!! Serious. Why not.

He'd probably dance circles around the "regular" celebrities. I know it was nearly 20 years ago, but his dance scene in "A League of Their Own" with Madonna was terrific.

He did have an appearence in the second part of "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" episode "The Suite Life Goes Hollywood." He played the director of a western movie that London and Maddie snuck onto the set of in order to meet a young heartthrob who had a starring role, and they ended up being mistaken for stuntwomen.
