    I will never forget this guy’s performance in The ‘Burbs. One of the best characters ever. “You’re chanting Ray, do you know that? ‘I wanna kill every one, Satan is good, Satan is my pal.'”

    Love this movie, always thought this guy was great, but to find out he looked like that at 32 – I’m kind of surprised he made it to 58.
