Today's actor appeared in a 1979 episode of Diff'rent Strokes. With Arnold concerned about Mr. Drummond's athletic ability in a father/son day competition, he subs out Mr. Drummond for a more athletic man named Larry. Do you recognize Larry?
Did you recognize Hall-of-Famer Reggie Jackson? This was his only role playing another person, but Jackson appeared as himself on numerous TV shows, from The Jeffersons to Malcolm in the Middle. Here are my earliest and latest Topps cards of Mr. October.
Of course, no discussion of Reggie filmed appearances is complete without mentioning The Naked Gun. Reggie's appearance there is probably one of the most famous athlete cameos of all time. Here is a custom card created by Baseball Card Breakdown in 2016.
that screenshot would have been a great baseball card. lol
ReplyDeleteHa, funny enough I also made a custom with the top photo, too!
ReplyDeleteI've been slowly watching thru Diff'rent Strokes.. can't wait till Reggie's episode. Also keeping an eye out for another episode that supposedly shows some Topps cards.
I haven't seen Naked Gun since I was a kid, and don't remember Reggie's cameo in the least.
