The guy who played Cleatus was very convincing as a CRIMINAL

All of his actions reminded me of a true thug. Maybe the actor really grew up in the hood because it was almost like they asked someone in the GHETTO to guest star in one episode of Good Times and play a criminal

What is funny to me about watching the Cousin Cleatus episode is, I never watch that episode and think of him as the guy who ended up playing "Sticks" on Happy Days. What I do think each time I watch that episode is, I ALWAYS remember he ended up doing porn to make a living. He died too young.

He really was a good actor. He started out doing college theater and worked in improvisational theater which then led to theater work, stage plays and then later turned into tv and film work.
