Are you ready for this?

John Waters

Since he’s hardly a dramatic actor, that should be, ahem, interesting.

He did a cameo as the elderly webmaster for a DIY porn website. It was still a good episode that was worth watching.

His appearance on \*The Simpsons \* was fantastic.

Saw a promo for it when watching _Chicago Med_.

Gave up on _L&O:SVU_ maybe 3+ years ago. (When Liv was trying to adopt a kid.) I want to remember the show as it was, with the original cast, so not going to watch just for Waters.

Maybe it’s just my memory conflating two different Baltimore-based things, but I could have sworn he had an appearance or two in “Homicide: Life on the Streets” way back when.  
Nope, IMDB says I was right!

Does anyone watch Dan Bell’s You Tube channels? He’s based out of Baltimore, and I’d love to see him do a video with Waters, and also Mike Rowe for that matter.
