The director's guest appearance as an Elvis impersonator on a 1992 episode of the classic NBC comedy helped keep him going while in pre-production for Reservoir Dogs. "It became a two-part Golden Girls, so I got paid residuals for both parts," he told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. "And it was so popular they put it on a best of The Golden Girls and I got residuals every time that showed. So I got paid maybe, I don't know, $650 for that episode, but by the time the residuals were over three years later, I made like $3,000."

I saw that interview, since I watch The Tonight Show every night. Got a big kick out of it, and they even showed the clip of him singing "Blue Skies of Hawaii". LOL
