He's the one that did the infamous hole in the shower wall scene with Balbricker(the mean lady gym teacher).

Not to be mean, but when you compare the pic of him in Porky's to his pic now, his now pic, he looks a little bit like that infamous Nick Nolte mugshot.

Did Ballbricker have anything to do with it?

RIP
