Rodney who?


He was a standup comic but made many movies later in his career. He voiced Larry Burns, Mr Burns' illigitmate son in a Simpsons episode. Figured everybody would get that one. He also starred in Caddyshack and many other movies along with numerous appearances on the Tonight Show with Jonny Carson.  Well  known in North America although he wasn't really concidered a big star.

I saw that he passed away on the news last night, too bad-I enjoyed his comedy.  I had forgotten that he played Larry Burns in an episode of The Simpsons.  He'll be missed.

Yeah. Caddyshack fame, and overall great comedian.

its a sign of getting older when those you grew up watching in movies or TV begin passing away :(

He had some great one-liners.  Among those:

"My parents didn't like me very much--my bath toys were a toaster and a radio!"

"When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother!"

He and his humor will be missed.
